According to reports, for several months, 2025 has been viewed as a window for the US to push for some kind of cease-fire in Ukraine. Given Russia's military advances, it is by no means clear whether Putin wants to stop military action. Trump has many options, and he may propose lifting sanctions against Russia in exchange for freezing the current military map. Or he could “escalate and then ease the situation” to give Putin a reason to make concessions. Unlike Biden, Trump is unpredictable. That means things could go horribly wrong — like the US abandoning Ukraine and Zelensky stepping down. Or it could have unexpected results: Putin may deepen his relationship with Trump by offering a better deal.
