Why Trump's forecasts for the end of the war have changed: a political scientist assessed the statements of the US leader Anzhelika Galesevich

US President-elect Donald Trump initially said that he could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Now, according to him, it will take six months. It was expected that his rhetoric would change.

During the election campaign, the Republican did not understand all the aspects, but after the victory, he began to get more familiar with the essence of the war in Ukraine. Political scientist Igor Reiterovich expressed this opinion to Channel 24.

How Trump's rhetoric towards Ukraine has changed

During the election campaign, Donald Trump said he could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours if he won the presidential election. He won, but his rhetoric changed dramatically. Now, according to the Republican, he will need months to make progress 6 months to make progress.

He just started learning more about the Russian-Ukrainian war, the political scientist emphasized.

At the beginning of the election campaign, Trump had an infantile and idealistic understanding of the situation in Ukraine. It was clear that he was superficially familiar with the essence of the issue.

Now he has more and more information. Trump is beginning to understand what kind of war this is and what its essence is. He listened to a lot of thoughts from his circle, and, apparently, because of this, he changed his forecast.

Recently, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni spoke with Trump Meloni spoke with Trump. She could explain to him that Vladimir Putin is not the kind of person who will agree to quickly sit down at the negotiating table and that one must be careful with him.

He is undergoing a certain transformation. And he may also change his position on the issue of ending the war when he actually becomes president and Keith Kellogg (US Special Representative for Ukraine – Channel 24) goes on a tour of Europe and comes to Ukraine, discusses all the issues. Then Trump's approaches may become different, not like those that exist today, – stated Igor Reiterovich.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently came out with such a proposal. He said that the defeat of Ukraine would be the defeat of the United States. Like, “Trump must understand this, we must convince him.”
