Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, expressing hope for strong U.S. leadership. However, concerns loom as Trump has hinted at potentially halting military aid to Ukraine and suggested a rapid peace plan that could require Ukraine to cede territory to Russia. This scenario raises fears that Ukraine may be left vulnerable to renewed aggression without U.S. support. Despite the tensions, many Ukrainians remain composed, some even hopeful that Trump’s unpredictable nature might lead to continued assistance for their defense.
