STORYLINE:
On the streets of Kyiv on Tuesday, residents reacted to what Donald Trump’s presidency might mean for Ukraine and a possible end to the war with Russia.
“It is impossible to understand how he (Trump) will behave," said 31-year-old local resident Volodymyr Gunko.
"Whether he will want to use Ukraine as a ‘bargaining chip’ or whether he will want to make it conditionally the 51st or 52nd state. Or, on the contrary, he will want to defend all democratic values and help Ukraine come out of this war in a victorious mood."
During his presidential campaign, Trump said he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in one day.
He didn’t mention either country in his inaugural address, even if he did say he wants to be “a peacemaker and a unifier” more generally.
He has since changed that time frame, voicing hope that peace could be negotiated in six months.
His nominee for envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, says a deal could be brokered in 100 days.
Both Moscow and Kyiv have been seeking battlefield gains to strengthen their negotiating positions ahead of any prospective talks to end the conflict.
"There is a big question about supporting Ukraine and providing other guarantees, providing military support," said Kyiv resident Sergiy Yaroshenko.
"The presidential team has completely changed and, unfortunately, we may now have problems with the supply of military and humanitarian aid.”
He added that Putin would be destroying Russia by failing to make a deal, pointing out Russia’s economic troubles, including high inflation.
