It seems like there’s no way that Biden can make any negotiation with Russia seem like a win to his base so if he wins it’s almost an automatic 4 more years of war. But if Trump wins he could make most of the concessions that Russia wants and still sell it as “the best deal” to his fans. Is a trump win the best hope for shortening war?
Disclaimer: I would never vote for trump, I also won’t vote for Biden, I’m also in a state that always goes one way so it doesn’t matter at all.
Probably they refer to the shenanigans the US was playing in 2014 by allying to the neo-Nazi Svoboda party during the euromaidan and pushing that faction into power which is why the eastern areas broke away
