Trump's plan to end the war in Ukraine includes the separation zone 1,000 km to the east

Donald Trump's dominant victory in the US presidential election has left many politicians, industry leaders and military generals questioning what to do with their posts.

The Republican's first mandate brought significant changes in a series of policies such as those on the pandemic, the normalization of ties between Israel and some Arab nations, or the breaking of ties with Iran after withdrawing from the international nuclear agreement.

But after four years of the first Trump administration that left in January 2021, the world is different and the war in Ukraine is in its third year, while the Middle East is involved in the bloodshed of Israel's War against Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon.

Trump's approach to these problems is not yet clear, but a recent report states that the freezing of the conflict in Ukraine will be carried out by means of a demilitarized zone of about 1,000 km in the east of the country.

Although Zelensky and his European partners insist that Kiev should not cede territory to the Kremlin, this has not been confirmed by the new US officials.

The British network MailOnline trying to break down the expected policies of Trump mentions the fact that the new president has said that "the war in Ukraine should never have started and that if he had been president, he would have stopped the conflict immediately", but without showing how he would achieve this.

A recent Wall Street Journal report cites three sources close to the president who say the administration is considering a proposal to bar Ukraine's NATO membership for at least 20 years in exchange for lucrative arms deals.

While the conflict itself will be stopped with the creation of a demilitarized zone in the east, leaving to Russia about 20% of the territory, which has already been annexed by Russia.

The sources did not say how the territory would be managed or monitored, except to say that the peacekeeping troops would not be American.

Britain, France and Germany have pledged their support to Ukraine, while Zelensky says he will not cede territory to Vladimir Putin.

Therefore, it is difficult to see how this plan will be realized and that it would also damage Washington's ties with Europe, writes the Daily Mail.

But analysts have previously warned that Trump is seeking to reduce military supplies to Ukraine by demanding that European partners do so, adding to pressure on Zelensky for a peace deal by giving up the annexed territories.

"Trump is right about the Europeans having to contribute more weapons and shells to the war," said Dr Russell Foster, professor of politics at King's College London, according to MailOnline.

"But Europe, Canada and Austral-Asia should contribute more", he added.

Experts add that in addition to Ukraine and NATO, Trump's presidency brings concerns about the economy and trade agreements.

Trump's return is also expected to bring relaxation of commercial, financial and industrial regulators, while increased regulation of cryptocurrency banks is expected.

Trump previously imposed increased tariffs on European steel and aluminum in the US in 2018, prompting retaliatory EU tariffs on US motorcycles, whiskey, jeans and more.

At the moment, the EC has set up a group of financial experts to study how the economy will be affected after Trump's inauguration in January, Daily Mail writes.
