The Trump Strategy for Ukraine

Donald Trump has a long-term strategy that can be achieved through short-term tactics that stop the bloodshed, writes Peter Bergen .

Bergen: Trump has good reason to mistreat Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky .

He says the U.S. has been helping Ukraine with arms, money, and political support, but not reciprocated.

Trump is a master negotiator and dealmaker, Bergen says.

Jacob Fraden : Ukraine and its allies will become much stronger and will not be easy prey for any aggressor.

Russia will ask China for assistance, yet with not much success, he says.

Russia 's innate desire for military expansion will not disappear, but its chances of future success against Ukraine or other European countries will be negligible.

As the war in Ukraine has shown, the Russian army is ineffective, he writes.
