As soon as the US presidential election came to an end, the newly elected Trump faced a huge international storm: the Russia-Ukraine war. The conflict that has gripped the world was described in Trump's campaign promise as a simple problem that could be solved within 24 hours. However, will things really be that simple?

First, we must understand the current situation on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. After more than 30 months of fierce fighting, the Russian offensive has become more intense, while Ukraine's counterattack force has gradually declined. From the loss of strategic villages and towns to the retreat of larger areas, Ukraine is facing unprecedented pressure. At this time, Ukraine urgently needs military assistance from the United States and the West to reverse its decline.

The Biden administration plans to provide $9 billion in aid to Ukraine before leaving office. This figure may be a shot in the arm for the Zelenskiy regime at the moment. But whether the aid can produce actual results in the race against time is full of doubts. On the eve of Trump taking office, the Ukrainian commander-in-chief was preparing to withdraw troops from the Kursk region. This move seemed to save face, but it also indirectly acknowledged Ukraine's complete defeat in this region.

One of Trump’s campaign promises was to use his self-proclaimed good relations with Russia and the United States to quickly end this long-running war. His supporters expected a decisive and action-oriented president. However, what Trump wanted to achieve was a complicated deal. He hopes to cede eight Russian-speaking areas to Russia in exchange for an immediate armistice. This strategy will undoubtedly push Ukraine into a more difficult situation.

Some people question whether this means that the United States will give up its support for Ukraine. However, Trump has always claimed "America First" and is obviously unwilling to continue to consume American resources for the benefit of Ukraine. His attention is more focused on the issues of the Middle East and Israel .

Regarding Ukraine, its posture has become very subtle since Trump won the election. On the one hand, Zelensky congratulated Trump and hoped to gain more support. On the other hand, Ukraine's withdrawal from Kursk showed its strategic necessity and practical helplessness. For Ukraine, it has become the norm to rely on external assistance to maintain the fighting. Once the United States tightens its aid, Ukraine will face more severe survival challenges.

Ukraine also has many problems internally. Faced with high-level orders to retreat and threats from commanders, frontline soldiers were in a dilemma. Low internal morale made the situation worse. Behind every trench lies the fear and despair in the hearts of the soldiers.

Trump may not be eager to take radical steps, and despite his aggressive statements, the specific implementation of policies requires careful consideration of the complexities involved. Putin's initiative in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield cannot be ignored. The Russian army is seeing the dawn of victory and they will not give up the chips in their hands easily.

In the next few months, the game between Russia and the United States on the Ukraine issue may enter a new stage. Russia will not give up any opportunity to consolidate its vested interests in Ukraine, while Trump needs to balance domestic and foreign concerns. Multiple pressures to fulfill their campaign promises. Behind every decision is an invisible tug of war.

In this complex chess game, the game between all parties will continue to be staged. The interaction between the United States, Russia, Ukraine, and NATO member states will continue to shape the future pattern of Europe and the world. In this regard, Trump's "24-hour peace plan" looks more like a distant luxury in the complex geopolitical reality. In the end, it was the Ukrainian people who paid a huge price in this dispute. This is the sad reality that really deserves attention.
