Medvedev calls Trump's quick progress on Ukraine settlement questionable
US President-elect Donald Trump's rapid success in resolving the conflict in Ukraine is "highly doubtful". This statement was made by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev on January 9.
"The calculation is clear: quick successes in settling the Ukrainian conflict are highly doubtful," he wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to him, his fight against migrants does not bring "resounding victories" either.
Medvedev also said that Trump "decided to remake the world," while calling all the ideas of the American president-elect absolutely unrealistic and projectionist.
He added that even before his inauguration, Trump had won several important "virtual victories" and formed an agenda of "cosmic scale."
The day before, future US special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said that Trump wants to end the Ukrainian conflict "as soon as possible." According to him, the US president-elect does not plan to completely cede to Russia, on the contrary, he will try to preserve Ukraine's sovereignty.
Trump's team said on December 13, 2024, that it was discussing with the current White House administration and Ukrainian officials to end the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, Kellogg allowed the end of this crisis in the coming months.
Before that, on December 3, Kellogg's plan for a Ukrainian settlement was published. It proposes to end the political isolation of the Russian Federation and retain the liberated territories. In addition, Trump's special envoy proposed to postpone Ukraine's accession to NATO for a long time. Nevertheless, Kellogg's plan includes continuing military aid to Kiev and providing it with security guarantees.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which Putin announced on February 24, 2022, is ongoing. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
