(Dan Tri Newspaper) - US President-elect Donald Trump is attempting to reform Washington's policies toward Ukraine even though he is still several weeks away from his inauguration.

Bloomberg reported on November 9th, citing a former US administration official, that the Republican Party is expected to "get an immediate head start thanks to Trump being tougher than his predecessor." He added that some of America's rivals might change their behavior without waiting for the president-elect to be sworn in, as they can "respond to the threat of US retaliation." Meanwhile, others might try to "exploit the remaining leverage before President Joe Biden leaves office." According to Bloomberg, the shift is most felt in Ukraine because Trump pledged to end the conflict within 24 hours, even before he took office. The source said Trump has shaped policy toward Ukraine. Shelby Magid, deputy director of the Asia-Europe Center at the Atlantic Council, told Bloomberg that Trump's victory has changed Ukraine's attitude toward negotiations. She added that Kyiv is "moving toward accepting that negotiations are a reality." President-elect Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky have spoken by phone. The call reportedly included Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who supports the idea of Kyiv ceding territory to Russia to end the conflict. Regarding a possible resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported this week, citing anonymous sources, that one of the plans being considered includes Kyiv abandoning its ambitions to join NATO in the near future and freezing the conflict along the current front line. Zelensky ruled out any concessions to Russia, including territorial concessions. However, he would face significant pressure if Trump decided Kyiv had to make a peace deal with Russia.
