Trump initially claimed he would resolve the Russia-Ukraine war quickly, even before his potential inauguration, but later acknowledged the complexity of the conflict, shifting his timeline to 3–6 months after taking office. Analysts criticized his understanding of the situation, citing misinformation from advisors and unrealistic assumptions.

Commentators argued that resolving the conflict would require suspending U.S. military aid and withdrawing personnel from Ukraine, as continued support prolongs the war. Critics also noted that U.S. and European influence over Russia is diminishing due to strategic missteps and that nationalist movements in Europe may alter the geopolitical landscape, further complicating efforts to negotiate peace.

Proposed solutions, including diplomatic concessions, face skepticism due to entrenched globalist priorities and distrust among involved parties. Observers emphasized that the conflict's root causes, such as Ukraine’s militarization and historical grievances, need addressing, but political narratives and misinformation hinder realistic approaches to peace.
