The coming months will be crucial in the war: what position is Ukraine aiming to take?

The next four to five months will be crucial in the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. Negotiations may take place, and the Ukrainian side is eager to secure the "most advantageous position." This was reported by a senior Ukrainian official quoted by Reuters.

"This winter is a critical moment... I hope that the war is coming to an end. We will now define the positions of both sides in the negotiations, the starting positions," said the anonymous source.

According to him, Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election brings the possibility of starting negotiations with Russia closer. In this context, Ukraine is looking to increase arms supplies to gain a more favorable position on the front. Officials are also anticipating Trump's appointments in the fields of security and defense, which will provide insight into his future policy regarding Ukraine.

After the Republican's victory, Ukraine's invitation to NATO no longer seemed as likely. At the same time, the Ukrainian official acknowledged the potential for a reduction in aid from the U.S.

"I hope that the Biden administration will try to avoid this risk by accelerating assistance," the anonymous official concluded.

It is worth noting that Trump is ready to initiate peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on the first day of his presidency. Donald Trump, the elected President of the United States, plans to commence talks between Russia and Ukraine aimed at ending the war as soon as he takes office.
