The newspaper’s publication stated: “Since Trump won the elections, he has held talks with a number of European Union leaders.”
Sources familiar with these talks told the newspaper, “French President Emmanuel Macron, who was one of these leaders, demanded during a 25-minute call that Trump seek to ensure that any diplomatic process with Russia over Ukraine leads to real concessions from the Kremlin.”
The sources added: “However, Trump expressed an indecisive position regarding the Ukrainian issue and acted evasively during his talks, as he contented himself with listening and asking questions.”
Earlier, the newspaper revealed Trump’s team’s plans to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, noting that his advisors want to establish a demilitarized zone 1.3 thousand kilometers long along the front line, without the United States sending its peacekeeping forces there.
According to the plan, Ukraine must commit not to join NATO for at least 20 years, in exchange for Washington supplying Kiev with weapons to prevent the resumption of the conflict in the future, according to the newspaper.
While the British newspaper “The Guardian” said it was 90-95% likely that Trump would prefer to put pressure on Kiev instead of threatening Russia to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
The newspaper wrote: “There is a 5% to 10% chance that this “surprise man, the 47th US president, will threaten to increase support for Ukraine to push Russia to reach a peace agreement… However, there is a 90% to 95% chance that he will do exactly what.” He said it more than once and he will try to end the war by imposing a settlement on Ukraine.”
The Guardian considered that Ukraine would likely become the “first victim” of Donald Trump after his return to power in the United States.
Trump had promised that he would be able to achieve a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict through negotiations within one day. He criticized President Joe Biden’s administration’s approach to dealing with the conflict in Ukraine, and that Kiev plundered the United States by obtaining billions of dollars in weapons for free. He also criticized Vladimir Zelensky, describing him as a “merchant.”
Russia has declared more than once that the Ukrainian conflict is too complex a problem to be solved by such a simple solution.
It is noteworthy that last Wednesday, Republican candidate Donald Trump was announced the winner of the US presidential elections in all major states.
According to Fox News, Trump won 295 electoral votes, exceeding the required 270 votes.

Which president had the most Cabinet turnover
**Interview with Political Analyst Sarah Thompson**
**Editor:** Welcome, Sarah. We’ve been following Donald Trump’s recent foreign policy discussions, especially regarding Ukraine. What are your thoughts on his approach during talks with EU leaders like Macron?
**Sarah Thompson:** Thank you for having me. Trump’s recent conversations highlight a trend of indecisiveness in his foreign policy. His discussion with Macron, where he seemed to evade directly addressing the Ukrainian issue, is quite revealing. It suggests he’s still grappling with how to position himself on international conflicts, especially given the complexities surrounding Ukraine and Russia.
**Editor:** You mentioned Trump’s indecisiveness. Can you elaborate on how this might affect international relations, particularly with European partners?
**Sarah Thompson:** Absolutely. When a leader exhibits indecision, it can create uncertainty among allies. Macron’s insistence on seeking real concessions from Russia underscores Europe’s pressing need for a unified and clear strategy. If Trump continues to be evasive, it may strain relationships, as European leaders might question America’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and addressing Russian aggression.
**Editor:** There’s talk about Trump’s advisors proposing a demilitarized zone along the front line and urging Ukraine not to join NATO for 20 years. What do you think of such a proposal?
**Sarah Thompson:** That proposal raises several concerns. While a demilitarized zone could potentially reduce immediate conflict, it also appears to place significant long-term restrictions on Ukraine’s sovereignty and security strategy. Furthermore, dissuading Ukraine from joining NATO could be interpreted as a capitulation to Russian demands, which could embolden further aggression from Moscow. This approach could be seen as detrimental to the long-term stability of the region.
**Editor:** With these developments, what should we watch for in the upcoming elections and subsequent foreign policy shifts if Trump were to regain the presidency?
**Sarah Thompson:** I think the key indicators will be how Trump navigates these talks with European leaders and how he frames his foreign policy proposals to the American public. We should also monitor any shifts in Republican Party attitudes, especially regarding NATO and relations with Russia. Voter sentiment on foreign policy issues could significantly influence his campaign and, if elected, his administration’s approach to international relations.
**Editor:** Thank you, Sarah, for your insights on this evolving situation. It’s certainly a complex landscape we’re navigating.
**Sarah Thompson:** My pleasure! It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming months.
