Donald J. Trump’s promise to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours, “before I even become president,” proved to be hyperbole.

As Donald Trump's second term as U.S. president dawns, Ukrainian soldiers and civilians see a hard road ahead in their war with Russia, and many have come to hope for a ceasefire without expelling Russian forces.

World leaders have been rushing to get on Donald Trump’s good side since his reelection as US president, arguably none more so than Ukraine.

Those fighting for Ukraine and those who have lost loved ones hope to end the war with Russia on their own terms.

Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president has raised hopes that an end to Russia’s three-year war on Ukraine — or at least a ceasefire — may be on the horizon, even as many experts doubt his ability to deliver on his promises to end the war.

Donald Trump plans to have a conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the first days after his inauguration as President of the United States, reported CNN. Preparations for the conversation and potential meeting have been underway for several weeks.
