Thanks Lesia - I think it will come down to who the Donald picks as National Security Adviser and Secretary of Defense. Hopefully they’re friends of Ukraine. Слава Україні.

It’s not funny that Zelensky “planned” for a Trump administration. What’s funny is your president (and you) thinking that our next president’s administration can be planned for. Zelensky has no idea what’s in store for him and Ukraine with Trump. You also don’t understand Trump’s relationship with Putin which dates back to before 2013. Being president won’t change a thing about that as he demonstrated 2016-2020. That you obviously think Trump/Putin bromance trivial is funny. Ceding territory to Russia will not be allowed by Trump to be taken off the table. Get ready, Zelensky will be forced by Trump to do so. Donald won’t have a problem shutting off Ukraine’s war funds if he doesn’t. He also won’t get the support that Israel had from the US in building its defense dome you’re so fond of. You’ve so minimized what Biden did for Ukraine that you’re blind to what Trump will do to Ukraine. Remember when Trump didn’t get his way regarding Zelensky providing dirt on Hunter Biden? He withheld aid to Ukraine and only released it because he was forced to. He will remember Ukraine’s slight, as it will be perceived by Trump, and seek retribution. You don’t think that Trump will sell Ukraine down the river if he can cut a deal with Putin to gain access to its vast mineral and oil/gas supply after Kiev is toppled? 🤦‍♀️ No. You simply don’t understand Trump or his core supporters who love them some Putin, as demonstrated by Tucker Carlson. Plus, you don’t get the relationship between Christian Nationalist and Trump, demonstrated by your comment regarding protestants. MAGA evangelicals (Christian Nationalist) are not the same thing as Protestants. CN don’t care about Ukraine or its fight against tyranny. They care about establishing a theocracy and fucking the poor. Face it; along with the LGBTQ+ community, the Black and Brown community, immigrants (documented or not), Haitians, women, the constitution, civil rights, democracy and … Ukraine are fucked. Sorry about that.

1. Your people have spoken, Harris conceded, game over

2. Zelenskyy has known Trump for 5 years and is able to make a call

3. The "peace plans" are already leaked by the WSJ and it's everything we expected

That's all from my side. But thanks for the comment, I'll pass it to the person

Thank you for your reply. The election is lost but the fight has just begun. And in two years you will see a much different congress than we have now. Disregarding the electoral count which will be done away with in the future, Trump won by 3 million votes. Thats a mere 2% or so difference. Considering that 60% percent of registered voters didn’t vote, which leaves that potential voting block up for grabs, your comment should read “some people have spoken” not “The” people have spoken. You don’t understand what’s coming for Trump. That’s not your fault. Zelensky has spoken a couple of times to Trump. He clearly doesn’t “know” him based on his hesitant optimism about a Trump admin. Trump resents Zelensky for not turning over dirt about Hunter Biden. And resentment is what sustains and motivates his actions. And Putin is Trump’s buddy puppet master. They go way back to the 80s when Trump was laundering money for the Russian mob. What’s leaked wasn’t Trump’s peace plan, it was a draft. More than likely, it was a way to measure his core supporters reaction. That or it was misdirection. Perhaps it will turn out to be Trump policy but your expectations will not have influenced that result. Thanks again for responding. Slava Ukraine!
