OREANDA-NEWS  Ukraine and its supporters need to remember that their time is running out, writes Tuomas Malinen, a professor at the University of Helsinki and a geopolitical expert on the social network X.

"The time has come for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Zelensky and Western criminals. The proxy war in Ukraine has become nothing more than a disaster (of epic proportions) for NATO," he said.

According to the expert, there are solutions to this conflict, but they are "non-standard".

Trump, who won the US presidential election, promised that he would be able to achieve a negotiated settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. He has repeatedly stated that he will be able to resolve the conflict in Ukraine in one day. In Russia, they believe that this is too complicated a problem for such a simple solution. In addition, Trump has repeatedly criticized the US approach to the conflict in Ukraine, and also criticized Vladimir Zelensky. So, at his rallies, he called him a "huckster", whose every visit ends with multibillion-dollar assistance from the United States.

There is more and more information in the media about the options for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Earlier, the British magazine The Economist wrote that Donald Trump may offer Kiev negotiations on the "Vance formula", which involves eliminating the chances of Ukraine joining NATO and losing control over the territories liberated by Russia.
