There are some major geopolitical considerations around how the war in Ukraine ends. Trump will reportedly pick Keith Kellogg as envoy to end the war, according to a Reuters report.
Here's a recent article where he lays out how he would end it.
- Continue arming Ukraine while pursuing formal ceasefire negotiations, with aid conditional on Ukraine agreeing to peace talks
- Delay Ukraine's NATO membership in exchange for security guarantees and a verifiable deal with Russia
- Ukraine keeps its claim to all territories but agrees to pursue diplomatic means for recovery, acknowledging it may take significant time
- Use partial sanctions relief on Russia as incentive for peace steps; implement levies on Russian energy to fund Ukraine's reconstruction
- Seek an interlocutor trusted by both sides (suggests Trump could fill this role) for negotiations, noting Biden's limited engagement with Putin
- Provide Ukraine with bilateral security agreement ratified by Senate, similar to arrangements with Korea and Taiwan
- Continue military support even after negotiations to prevent Russian aggression, while rejecting Russian demands for Ukrainian demilitarization
