Ukraine is bracing for the worst ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January.

The billionaire, who has promised to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia “within 24 hours,” has threatened to halt U.S. military support to Kyiv if Ukraine refuses to negotiate peace with its adversary.

“We’re getting ready for the worst-case scenario, when [Trump] stops all the supplies,” Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko, former deputy head of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, told Al Jazeera.

Trump’s peace plan remains vague for now, but some experts speculate it could involve allowing Russia to keep the Ukrainian territories it has occupied, which amount to 19% of Ukraine’s land.

If Kyiv refuses to engage in peace talks, Donald Trump has vowed to cut military aid. However, he has also suggested he might supply Ukraine with better weapons if Moscow rejects peace negotiations.

Despite these threats, Ukraine anticipates that Trump’s stance may shift depending on how the conflict evolves.
