Donald Trump's plan to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours has indeed been revised and appears to be shelved for the time being. Initially, Trump made bold claims during his campaign about resolving the conflict quickly, but recent developments indicate a significant shift in his approach.
## Current Status of Trump's Plan
1. **Revised Timeline**: Trump's team has moved away from the immediate 24-hour resolution he previously touted. Instead, they are now suggesting a timeline of several months to achieve peace in Ukraine[2]. This adjustment reflects a more cautious stance, likely influenced by the complexities of the ongoing conflict and the need for a sustainable solution.
2. **Ongoing U.S. Support for Ukraine**: Despite earlier indications that he might reduce military aid to Ukraine, discussions with European officials suggest that U.S. assistance will continue even after Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025[2]. This is crucial as many European leaders emphasize the importance of U.S. support for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.
3. **Potential Meeting with Putin**: Trump has announced plans to meet with Vladimir Putin post-inauguration to discuss ending the conflict, which raises concerns in Kyiv about potential concessions that could disadvantage Ukraine[3]. However, there has been no formal request from Trump’s team for such a meeting yet, although the Kremlin has expressed openness to dialogue[3].
4. **Concerns Over Ceasefire Proposals**: Trump's previous strategies included proposals that involved delaying Ukraine's NATO membership and establishing ceasefire terms that could potentially favor Russia[4][6]. Analysts warn that any ceasefire without adequate protections for Ukraine could lead to further complications and might not be in Kyiv's best interest[10].
5. **Mixed Reactions**: Ukrainian officials have been wary of Trump's approach, particularly regarding any ceasefire that might solidify Russian territorial gains[6][7]. President Zelensky and others have voiced strong opposition to compromises that would undermine Ukraine's sovereignty.
In summary, while Trump's initial promise to end the Ukraine war swiftly has been tempered by reality, ongoing discussions and adjustments indicate a complex path ahead as he prepares to take office again. The focus now seems to be on a more gradual approach rather than an immediate resolution.
