Ukraines Trump Tightrope - Foreign Affairs

As with many other aspects of their war against Russia, Ukrainians
have reacted to the outcome of the U.S. presidential election with a
certain dark humor. The morning after the election, Ukrainian social
media was full of jokes, including by soldiers commenting that they
are “preparing to go home soon, since the war will end in 24
hours.” They were referring, of course, to President-elect Donald
Trump’s long-standing claim that he could stop the war in a day if
he were elected.

Ukraine has many reasons to be concerned about a second Trump
presidency. Trump has not said how he would end the war, or even under
what conditions. In his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, in
September, he refused to say that he wanted Ukraine to win. He has
also repeatedly complained about the amount of military assistance
that the United States has been giving Kyiv. In the background, there
is his longtime admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and
Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who was one of the first Republicans
to embrace indifference to Ukraine as a policy position: “I don’t
really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other,” he said
in 2022. And in polling before the election, where a clear majority of
Democrats agreed that the United States had a responsibility to
support Ukraine, only about a third of Republican voters said that it
did. All this has led many to fear that Washington—by far Kyiv’s
biggest arms supplier—might cut off the flow of aid, or even allow
Moscow to dictate the terms of peace.
