Vladimir Putin’s quiet strategy may involve waiting for Donald Trump’s term to end before making a decisive move on Ukraine, according to retired U.S. Army General Jack Keane. Keane suspects that Putin will wait for the opportunity to topple Ukraine's government after Trump’s presidency, despite ongoing peace talks. While Trump and other U.S. officials are pushing for negotiations, Keane believes Putin’s ultimate goal remains unchanged. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky remains cautious about trusting Putin’s promises. The fate of Ukraine hangs in the balance as global leaders try to negotiate an end to the conflict.
