Three years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Ukraine finds itself in a brutal deadlock, with the geo-political landscape shifting around it.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has thrown Ukraine’s Western support into question. US-Russia talks have begun behind closed doors, raising concerns that key decisions about Ukraine’s future are being made without Kyiv at the table. At the same time, European leaders are debating what security guarantees they can offer Ukraine if America steps back.

So, what happens next? Can Ukraine force Russia into serious negotiations? How will Trump’s presidency reshape the war and Europe’s role in it? And is there a real path to peace in 2025?
