Ukrainians are expressing concern about the progress of the war with Russia. Young people in Kiev also have little faith in the new US administration of Donald Trump. Lyudmyla is not holding her breath for the next US president to end the war in Ukraine. Her sense of skepticism is shared by many Ukrainians who have little faith in Donald Trump's promises to quickly reach a peace agreement after he enters the White House on Monday, reports A2 CNN.
“Now I understand that it doesn’t help to hope for support from countries that are theoretically supposed to be on our side. They may support us today, but tomorrow they may not. Why everyone is pinning their hopes on Donald Trump, I don’t know. I didn’t pin any hopes on him. I want to believe that Ukrainians can defend their country on their own, but at the same time not refuse the help of partner countries. But in the end it depends on us,” said Liudmyla Parybus, a Ukrainian student.
"Our fate is in our own hands," said Marharyta Deputat, a 29-year-old sales manager. "We can't rely on anyone else," writes A2 CNN
"I think the peace process in Ukraine for Trump is important to him to some extent for his reputation. His statements have been just that, he claims. He said he would end the war in 24 hours. We can see that this does not work like that. Therefore, I think that the future of Ukraine does not depend on Israel or Syria, I hope that independently we will achieve a positive result," said Marharyta Deputat, sales manager, reports A2 CNN.
Not everyone dismisses the possibility that Trump could help expedite a ceasefire; following his election, more than a third of Ukrainians believe the war will end by the end of 2025, according to a survey of about 1,100 people by the research firm Gradus Research in December. The poll found that 31% of respondents expected the war to continue “for years,” and another 31% said it was hard to say.
Trump's advisers now acknowledge that the war in Ukraine will take months or even longer to resolve, a sharp reality check on his biggest foreign policy promise to reach a peace deal on his first day in office. (A2 Televizion)
