Shifting Ukrainian Expectations

Ukrainian expectations are changing in light of recent political developments, particularly following Trump's re-election. The realization has dawned on Ukraine that its pursuit of complete military victory may risk losing support from key international allies like the Trump administration, especially with figures opposed to ongoing aid. Public opinion in Ukraine is likewise shifting toward a willingness to negotiate, acknowledging the complexities of the battlefield and the need for dialogue. This awareness prompts Ukraine to seek compromise to maintain support from its Western partners, primarily the United States.
