"We don't expect anything positive," Ukrainians are skeptical

Ukrainians are skeptical that the next president of the United States, Donald Trump, can help stop the war with Russia before his inauguration. In statements to the Reuters news agency, there is little optimism about the new American president. They make the connection with 2014, when Russia occupied the Crimean Peninsula and nothing has changed for 10 years, they say, reports A2 CNN.

"I think nothing will change after Trump's inauguration. We can look back at how everything has been since 2014: the fighting just calmed down after some time. I think the same thing will happen now, after the large-scale invasion. I think Trump will not help this situation," said Sofia Dmytrenko, a student in Kiev, A2 CNN reports.

Another young Ukrainian believes that Trump can help end the war, but like him, it won't be long-term.

"I think Trump can help end the war, but it won't be quick and it's not a fact that it would be in our favor. I can't say anything about it. On the front line, everything is terrible," said Anton Dubchal, a student in Kiev.

The new manager from Ukraine, Halina Kraskivska, emphasizes that Trump will not bring anything positive.

"We would like to hope that Trump will be the person who will help us end the war, but we have great doubts whether it will happen. We hope for the best, but there will probably not be quick and positive changes," said Halina Kraskivska, Human Resources Manager .

Donald Trump will be sworn in as US president on Monday, ushering in another turbulent four-year term with promises to push the limits of executive power, deport millions of immigrants, enforce retribution against his political enemies and transform the US's role on the world stage. Trump claimed during his campaign that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war on his first day in office, but his advisers have acknowledged that any peace deal will take months. (A2 Televizion)
