European officials involved in discussions with Trump's new team note that there is currently no clear plan for ending the war. However, one of the interlocutors emphasized that "the entire Trump team is obsessed with demonstrating strength," which significantly influences their approach to the Ukrainian issue. Administration representatives are wary of repeating the negative experience of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, and therefore aim to avoid drastic actions that could weaken their position.
According to sources, the timeline for resolving the conflict has been revised. While Trump previously claimed he could settle the war within 24 hours, discussions now involve months. European partners have interpreted this change as a signal that an immediate withdrawal of support for Kyiv is not anticipated.
The Financial Times also reports that European leaders continue to persuade Trump of the necessity to maintain American military aid to Ukraine. Their arguments are based on the premise that such support strengthens Kyiv's position in negotiations and exerts pressure on Moscow to return to discussions on a peaceful resolution.
