Trump's Win Brings Optimism to Russian Traders

Following Donald Trump's election victory, optimism surged among Russian traders and brokers, with hopes that sanctions might be lifted and relations with Russia improved. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned against a hasty peace settlement proposed by Trump, emphasizing the need for a fair resolution that does not compromise Ukraine's independence or territorial integrity. Trump, who claims he can end the war in Ukraine swiftly, has not yet spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin but intends to do so. While Putin congratulated Trump and expressed willingness to engage in dialogue, the Kremlin acknowledges the complexity of ending the conflict quickly. Concerns persist in Ukraine over the potential loss of military aid under Trump's administration and the risk of territorial concessions to Russia. Trump's victory marks a significant setback for liberal globalists, indicating a shift in the geopolitical landscape.
