Trump’s administration has signaled that Ukraine will not join NATO and that Russia will likely retain parts of its occupied territory, following announcements made after his proposals regarding Gaza. While Vice President J.D. Vance offered criticism from a Trumpist perspective, no substantial alternative was provided, leading to confirmation that the US is separately engaging with Russia on Ukraine while consulting other parties. This suggests existing alliances supporting Ukraine are fracturing, and Putin appears to be achieving a desired unilateral negotiating position. Some observers hope this is mere tactical pressure from Trumpists, but diplomats caution against declaring major policy shifts prematurely. Key EU leaders are meeting in Paris to formulate a response to the new US policy, while Russia and the US prepare for initial talks on Ukraine without Ukraine taking place in Saudi Arabia. The coming week will reveal more about the remaining hopes, with current outlook suggesting potential losses for Ukraine and increased rearmament.
