Donald Trump has pledged to swiftly seek a deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war. This is a worthy goal: The war has already killed or injured 1 million people and caused $500 billion of damage in Ukraine. It is also on a bleak trajectory, as Russia strives to exhaust Ukrainian forces in a bloody war of attrition.

No one knows what President-elect Trump's plans are. He has never talked about the war in great depth, let alone put forth a concrete proposal with specifics.

Some Ukrainian officials, commanders, soldiers and commentators have said they were relieved by Trump's election, seeing as at least a chance to end the war.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said that they are going to work on Middle East and are going to work very hard on Russia and Ukraine. At an event in Florida, he said the wars have to stop and that Russia and Ukraine's got to stop.
