\"Trump<\/p>\n

The incoming Trump administration will be in a position to broker a “good” and “strong” peace deal in Ukraine, provided that Kyiv agrees, outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a press briefing on Jan. 16.<\/p>\n

“So I believe that the incoming administration is in a position where, if the Ukrainians so desire and so choose, it can help to negotiate a good deal,” Blinken said<\/a> after commenting that thanks to the Biden<\/a> administration and international partners, Russia has failed to subdue Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“And President (Donald) Trump<\/a> talks about having good, strong deals. \u00a0I think there\u2019s an opportunity to get one.”<\/p>\n

Trump, taking office on Jan. 20, has pledged to swiftly push for a peace settlement<\/a> in the Russia-Ukraine war after taking office, prompting fears he might pressure Kyiv toward painful concessions.<\/p>\n

His team signaled that the new administration would seek to preserve Ukraine’s independence<\/a>, though Blinken’s expected successor, Marco Rubio, said that both Kyiv and Moscow would have to make concessions<\/a> to achieve a peace deal.<\/p>\n

Since invading Ukraine in 2014 and escalating its war of aggression in 2022, Russia has occupied about 20% of Ukrainian territory, imposing repressive measures<\/a> on the local population and prohibiting any expressions of Ukrainian identity. Ukraine<\/a> has repeatedly said it would not recognize its territory currently under Moscow’s control as Russian.<\/p>\n

Blinken noted that any potential ceasefire must be enduring and not simply a pause that will give Russian President Vladimir Putin a chance to “rest, refit, and then when he deems the moment right, re-attack.”<\/p>\n

“So you have to have built into any ceasefire the effective deterrence necessary so that he doesn\u2019t re-attack. \u00a0That is, I think, a necessary part of any good, strong deal for Ukraine,” the chief U.S. diplomat said.<\/p>\n

The secretary of state also highlighted the Biden administration’s efforts to put Ukraine into the strongest possible position in any potential talks, noting that Russia suffered massive battlefield losses<\/a> and faces mounting economic difficulties.<\/a><\/p>\n

“The losses that Russia has incurred are almost unimaginable \u2013 I think, by some assessments, 700,000-800,000 casualties. \u00a0That includes those killed and those wounded,” Blinken said.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration ramped up its support for Ukraine since Trump’s reelection, announcing several major security assistance packages, easing restrictions on long-range strikes<\/a> inside Russia, and imposing sweeping sanctions<\/a> on the Russian energy sector. <\/p>\n

How Trump could use sanctions in negotiations with Russia<\/div>\n
In the run-up to his departure from the White House, President Joe Biden has slapped a number of major new sanctions on Russia\u2019s financial systems and energy sector. The U.S. originally threatened Russia with \u201cthe mother of all sanctions\u201d as Moscow prepared to invade Ukraine in February 2022.<\/div>\n
