Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he could end the war in Ukraine "within 24 hours" if re-elected, though he hasn't provided specific details on his approach. He's suggested that he could bring both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the negotiating table through personal diplomacy.

Almost three years into its defensive war with Russia, the beleaguered nation can only hope that the president-elect will do better than just abandon it.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Trump and praised his “peace through strength” approach, but concerns in Ukraine loom over Washington's continued commitment to Kyiv.
