The work has already begun: what steps Trump may take regarding the war in Ukraine Petro Sineoky

It is clear that the new US President Donald Trump will not be able to end the war in 24 hours. But the process of finding solutions has already begun.

A military expert, pilot instructor and retired colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Roman Svitan told Channel 24 about this, noting that Trump's statement about ending the war in 24 hours is a regular election promise. It will not be possible to organize everything so quickly.

What to expect next

As Svitan noted, it is quite possible that Trump will create a certain group where they will develop solutions for the war in Ukraine. Representatives of our state may well be invited there, who will promote our interests. It is quite possible that we will hear about the work of such a group in the near future.

Currently, Trump does not have any plan. He will work to develop a real option for ending the war. But it is difficult to predict what it will be like.

The plan will only be developed. They will not be able to stop the war in 24 hours. This can only be done if we are immediately accepted into NATO, and then nuclear weapons are deployed on our territory. It is clear that this will not happen now. Trump is preparing now, and then there will be decisions, – said Svitan.

Recall that Volodymyr Zelensky has already had a telephone conversation with Donald Trump. They noted that it was a constructive call. Both presidents are focused on achieving specific results.

The United States has lifted a de facto ban on the deployment of American military contractors in Ukraine to service and repair the weapons systems provided, in particular, F-16 fighters and Patriot air defense systems.

CNN reports this, citing an official directly familiar with the plan.

US military contractors in Ukraine

—To help Ukraine repair and maintain military equipment provided by the United States and allies, the U.S. Department of Defense is soliciting bids for a small number of contractors that will help Ukraine maintain the assistance it has already provided, — he said.

According to the publication's report, the American contractors will allegedly be located far from the front lines and will not fight with Russian soldiers.

However, they will help soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine quickly repair and service the equipment provided by the United States if necessary, so that it can be quickly returned to the front lines.

A Pentagon representative told reporters that the United States is moving forward to implement this plan.

According to him, several systems that the United States provided to Ukraine, in particular the F-16 aircraft and Patriot air defense systems, require special technical expertise to maintenance.

Previously transferred to the US military equipment that suffered significant damage during combat allegedly had to be transported from Ukraine to Poland, Romania or other NATO countries for further repair.

According to sources, including current and former officials, the change in policy will allegedly not lead to a large presence of American contractors, which existed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Probably, from several dozen to several hundred contractors will work in Ukraine at the same time, the publication claims.

A Pentagon representative noted that there is already a wide range of American companies in Ukraine that carry out contracts for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so this will not lead to a significant increase in the number of such employees.

“We need to get ready”: Russian TV is panicking over Trump's election Petro Sineoky

Russian propagandists are worried about Trump winning the US presidential election. They don't know what to expect from him. And they predict a bad turn of events for Russia.

Trump's victory in the US elections is a top topic for Russian propagandists. Previously, they hoped that it would be beneficial for the aggressor country. But now they realize that they need to prepare for various options.

They are afraid of Trump

Russian propagandists are afraid of Trump's decisions on the war in Ukraine. Among them, there is an opinion that the new US president will offer unfavorable conditions for Russia, which they will not agree to.

True, the Russian dictator does not demonstrate adequacy in relation to negotiations. Putin's demands to end the war are a banal capitulation of Ukraine, which our country will not agree to under any circumstances.

One of the participants in the propaganda shows even said that he talked to the candidate for Secretary of State of the United States. And there he was also told “bad” news about the war in Ukraine.

The situation is simple. I asked him about Ukraine. There they said that the position that Russia committed aggression against Ukraine remains. The Republicans share it. Trump will not ask anything from Putin. He will specifically demand. There will be a demand for Russia to stop the war. If Russia does not agree, then Trump will decide to provide Ukraine with such support that will force Russia to negotiate, – said one of the propagandists.

Recall that Volodymyr Zelensky had a “wonderful telephone conversation” with Donald Trump on November 7. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgy Tykhyi said that a long-term and constructive relationship has been established between the presidents, which is aimed at achieving specific results.

What is the reason for the girl's decision

Vivian wrote that she had thought about it for a long time and was finally convinced that she does not see her future in the United States. The new White House administration, in her opinion, will attack the rights of people in the United States, and its voters will continue to support such initiatives.

Even if Trump only stays in power for 4 years and the anti-trans laws are not passed, a significant portion of voters supported these changes, and these people will stay in the country for a long time, she wrote.

Vivian's message on Threads

So far, Musk's daughter has not revealed where exactly she plans to emigrate, but her statement is being actively discussed online. Vivian's comments have sparked debate about the future of the transgender community in the United States amid potential legislative changes.

What is Vivian's relationship with her father?

Vivian was born Xavier Alexander Musk in 2022. She underwent a gender transition and changed her name. She then permanently broke off relations with her father, who refused to support her. Elon Musk cites her gender transition as one of the reasons for his shift in political views.

He noted that he “essentially lost a son” due to the influence of modern ideology. It is noteworthy that Musk had to agree to the operation and did so, but has repeatedly stated that he was deceived about it.

Vivian stated in an interview that she had a cold relationship with her father. He has not been close to her since childhood and cannot talk about her feelings.
