Geopolitical analysts suggest Ukrainian and European leaders are aiming to outlast Donald Trump’s presidency, potentially prolonging negotiations with the U.S. as they seek an end to the conflict. Europeans consider Trump a "lame duck" and are awaiting his departure from office. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues arms sales to Ukraine and European allies via NATO. The upcoming U.S. elections and the trajectory of MAGA Republicans are expected to influence the geopolitical landscape by 2026. The situation remains dynamic.
