President Donald Trump is emphasizing that targeting Russia’s oil revenue is the best way to get Moscow to end its nearly three-year war against Ukraine.

After breaking a campaign promise about the war in Ukraine, the new president is making matters worse by blaming Ukraine for the conflict Russia started.

As president-elect, Donald Trump said on more than one occasion that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office. More than a day into his presidency, the war rages on. But “ending wars” does still appear to be a top priority for the new administration.

The future that Zelensky and many of his countrymen have in mind is one in which Russia is defeated. But in rallying the world to the fight, the implication Biden embedded in his own goals was that defending Ukraine against Russia is not the same as defeating Russia. So it is not surprising if that goal remains far from Zelensky’s reach.

Russia claimed that its forces captured the strategically important town of Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region. While it could not be independently verified, the Separate Mechanised Brigade – a ground force formed in 2022 – confirmed withdrawing strategically from some area to avoid encirclement, according to the Guardian.

Trump promised during his campaign he would end the war within 24 hours of taking office, but his aides have since said a deal could take months.

Trump did not mention Ukraine in his inauguration speech but has told reporters that Vladimir Putin would be destroying Russia by not agreeing to a peace deal.

The President’s various foreign-policy “personas” vacillate between a desire for domination and withdrawal.
