To achieve peace in Ukraine: what mechanisms can Trump use? Angela Figin

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that if he wins the election, he will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. How the ex-President of the United States is going to do this is not yet known in detail, but if there is a Trump peace, then most likely not on the terms that Vladimir Putin dreamed of.

This opinion 24 was expressed to Channel by the Russian opposition politician, world chess champion Garry Kasparov. He suggested that the 2022 borders are part of Trump's plan and that this could put Putin in an extremely difficult position.

Trump's Plan

Trump's promise to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours will likely be in line with what Boris Johnson wrote after meeting with the Republican presidential candidate. It is possible that Trump will demand the withdrawal of Russian troops to the 2022 borders in exchange for the lifting of sanctions on Russia.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if there are words about the return of the borders on February 24 2022. However, this option is generally unacceptable for Putin,” said Kasparov.

For the Russian dictator, any territorial concession is absolutely unacceptable. Moreover, the entry of a free Ukraine into NATO would nullify all war goals.

The Kremlin is nervous because the dynamics have changed. I think that now the situation for Ukraine will improve, because the Americans will try to show that they are the real leaders,” noted the Russian opposition politician.

According to the Russian oppositionist, On August 19, Trump may come to Kyiv. There is a high probability of such a visit just during the Democratic Congress to divert attention.
