00:00Donald Trump has promised to end the war in Ukraine quickly, but on the ground, the reality
00:04is far from simple.
00:06Both Moscow and Kiev are locked in a race for battlefield advantages to strengthen their
00:11positions before any negotiations begin.
00:14Russia has been steadily advancing, aiming to fully capture territories it annexed illegally.
00:20Meanwhile, Ukraine is striking back, targeting Russia's infrastructure and pushing into
00:25the Kursk region.
00:27Trump once pledged to settle the war in just 24 hours.
00:30Now, he says, peace could take six months, with his nominee for Ukraine envoy aiming
00:36for a deal in 100 days.
00:39But will the leaders of Moscow and Kiev budge?
00:42Putin demands recognition of Russia's territorial gains, Ukraine's withdrawal from NATO ambitions,
00:47and an end to Western sanctions.
00:50On the other hand, Zelensky insists on strong security guarantees and a comprehensive peace
00:55agreement.
00:57Experts warn that both sides are taking tough stances, leaving little room for compromise.
01:03Ukraine faces manpower shortages, while Russia bets on exhausting Ukrainian forces.
01:08Trump's strategy is to push Putin to stop the war, or risk increased military and financial
01:13support for Ukraine.
01:15But observers caution that Putin is unlikely to compromise, as he ties his leadership to
01:20the war's success.
01:22As Trump prepares to step into the Oval Office, one question looms large.
01:26Can peace truly be achieved?
01:28Or will the world see this war escalate even further?
