American Magazine: Trump Capable of Ending the Ukraine War with One Decision

The magazine "American Thinker" believes that U.S. President Donald Trump holds the key to ending the war in Ukraine with just one decision: halting U.S. arms supplies to Kyiv, which could prompt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept a political settlement.

The magazine explained that this action could serve as an effective pressure tactic on Kyiv to force it to sit at the negotiating table, especially given the Ukrainian army's heavy reliance on Western military and financial support to continue fighting.

Previous Suggestions and Diplomatic Leaks

This analysis comes in the context of previous media reports indicating that Trump's campaign team discussed with Ukrainian officials the possibility of conceding the Donbas region as part of a potential settlement with Moscow.

Zelensky revealed on October 20 that Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, asked him during a meeting to acknowledge that Donbas is "part of Russia according to its constitution," which observers considered a clear hint at abandoning Ukrainian sovereignty over the region.

Trump: "I Will Meet with Putin if an Agreement is Possible"

In previous statements, Trump said he would reschedule his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin only if he was "confident that an agreement could be reached to end the conflict," emphasizing that he seeks a quick diplomatic solution to stop the bleeding of a war that has lasted for more than two and a half years.

The magazine believes that a step of this nature — namely halting advanced U.S. military support — could radically change the course of the war and force Kyiv to reassess its strategic calculations at a time when it faces increasing economic pressures and a decline in public support within the United States and Europe for continued funding of the war.
