Trump’s Plans for Negotiating Peace: The Basics

Trump has long asserted he could resolve the Ukraine war “in 24 hours” if he wins back the White House.

But critics say his position could weaken Ukraine’s hand by pressuring the country into an unfavorable settlement. Boston’s Ukrainian community, like others nationwide, is deeply invested in what form any peace deal takes and that it prioritizes Ukraine’s sovereignty and long-term security.

Peace Plan

Fear of a Weak Peace Deal

Some fret that the negotiations will benefit Russia, considering Trump has praised Putin in the past.

Hope and Possible Benefits of Peace Process

The worry, however, is that some in the Boston Ukrainian community recognize that negotiations could result in a good outcome—if done the right way.

Fewer Civilian Casualties — Ending the war would preserve lives and prevent destruction in Ukraine.

Reconstruction of Ukraine — A diplomatic settlement could unleash economic recovery and reconstruction.

Global Stability — Some argue de-escalation might help stabilize international markets and improve global security.

But these benefits assume that Ukraine’s interests are placed first in the peace negotiations, rather than sacrificed for political expediency.
