Good morning. The fallout from Donald Trump’s election will be felt far beyond the US, and perhaps nowhere more rapidly than in Ukraine.
Trump frequently bemoaned the cost of American military support during the campaign, repeatedly saying that he could end the war in “one day”. That is highly improbable, but Moscow and Kyiv are now preparing for a very different approach from Washington – and the White House is already planning to rush billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine in the last two months of Joe Biden’s term.
