Donald Trump declared he would work "hard" to end the conflict.

According to TASS on November 15, President-elect Donald Trump declared he is working "very hard" to end the conflict.

“We’re going to deal with the situation in the Middle East and we’re going to work very hard with Russia and Ukraine. These conflict narratives have to end. I’ve seen the reports, thousands of people have died in three days, they’re soldiers, and civilians too. We’re going to deal with these issues,” President-elect Trump said on November 14 at a dinner hosted by the America First Policy Institute at Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

Also on November 14th (Washington time), while discussing the upcoming G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro with his EU counterparts, US President Joe Biden mentioned the possibility of strengthening Ukraine's position ahead of the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump.

“Regarding Ukraine, President Biden will have the opportunity to discuss the next steps with his counterparts in the European Union, including increasing arms supplies, allocating all resources provided by Congress, and exploring other opportunities to strengthen Ukraine in the best possible way before a complete transfer of power to the next administration,” Assistant Director of the National Security Agency Jake Sullivan said at a press conference, explaining that the U.S. is specifically talking about strengthening Europe’s role in supporting Ukraine.

President Biden's national security aide emphasized, "We will focus our discussions on increased support for Kyiv from European nations." According to Sullivan, the U.S. and its allies are pursuing the goal of "putting Ukraine in the most advantageous position on the battlefield to give it the greatest possible leverage in the negotiation process."
