AlArabiya English

President Donald Trump wants the war in Ukraine to end, prioritizing a resolution over legal or just consequences, former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza says.

00:00I think with Trump, what he wants is simply an end to fighting, and he doesn't care.

00:05I think what the Biden administration cared about was that there be a just peace from

00:09Ukraine's perspective, meaning not surrendering its territory, but maybe having an ambiguous

00:15legal status of the areas occupied by Russia now.

00:19I think Trump won't care about those diplomatic and legal important questions, but I think

00:24he's just going to go for a ceasefire and then realizes Zelensky will have to sell it

00:29domestically, but won't be emotionally attached to the immorality of President Putin invading

00:36and trying to annex another country's territory.
