With Donald Trump set to re-enter the White House, Ukraine faces mounting challenges.

Its troops are struggling against Russia’s advances, with limited resources and dwindling military aid prospects.

Russia continues its offensive, gaining territory in Donetsk while Ukrainian forces defend key positions.

Ukraine’s defense priorities include stabilizing frontlines and bolstering capabilities, with allies pledging further aid.

Talks of ending the conflict remain unlikely, as Moscow seeks outright victory, CNN has reported.

Trump’s team aims for a resolution within 100 days, though experts doubt Putin will negotiate.

Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasizes securing peace on terms favorable to Ukraine and plans direct talks with the Trump administration.
