The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not only captured global attention but has also become a pivotal issue in the upcoming U.S.
elections.
Donald Trump, facing his second attempted attack in a matter of weeks—this time allegedly from a supporter of Ukraine—believes he can resolve this prolonged war, which has lasted over two and a half years, in mere days.
His boldest claim? Ending the conflict in just 24 hours, should he regain the presidency in the 2024 elections.
Simultaneously, Trump has repeatedly accused President Joe Biden of leading the country towards a potential third world war, a threat that Trump asserts he can “prevent” as outlined in his electoral platform.
The war in Ukraine lacks any significant diplomatic efforts, with the West increasingly backing Kiev’s efforts.
The United States and the United Kingdom are reportedly ready to exceed previous limits, possibly granting Zelensky the ability to use long-range missiles that can effectively strike deep into Russia.
While Trump’s claims about the West flirting with disaster appear grounded in reality, the specific mechanisms by which he envisions halting the conflict have remained elusive.
Recently, JD Vance, a rising Republican senator and Trump’s designated Vice-President, revealed Trump’s proposed plan for peace in an interview.
During a contentious televised debate against Kamala Harris, Trump dodged questions about whether he wanted Ukraine to triumph over Russia, instead insisting that the war must end.
In contrast, Vance openly articulated what he believes to be Trump’s strategy: establishing a heavily fortified demilitarized zone along the current lines separating Russia and Ukraine.
Vance stated, “The current demarcation should become a fortified demilitarized zone to prevent further Russian invasion.
Ukraine would retain its sovereignty, ensuring that it does not join NATO or any allied institutions, while Germany and other nations would be tasked with financing Ukraine’s recovery.” If this plan materializes, it could mean that Russia retains control over territories it has seized, avoiding the financial burden of reconstruction.
The reception of Trump’s peace proposal has not been favorable among the current administration.
A spokesperson for Kamala Harris labeled it a “surrender for Ukraine,” implying that it would favor Russian interests.
“Trump refrains from saying he supports a Ukrainian victory because he effectively cheers for Vladimir Putin,” the spokesperson added.
Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, echoed similar sentiments, suggesting that any peace strategy that coerces Ukraine against its principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity is fundamentally unjust and unsustainable.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has called for long-range missile support even from allies like Italy, would likely find Vance’s outline unacceptable, as Ukraine seeks a resolution that restores its territorial integrity, Crimea included.
As we look forward to the 2024 U.S.
elections, the key question remains: can Trump truly end the war between Ukraine and Russia swiftly? Polls suggest a tight race between Trump and Harris, setting the stage for a nail-biting election reminiscent of the previous cycle four years ago.
