A similar poll in November 2024, before Trump was sworn in for his second term, indicated that 44.6% of Ukrainians said they trusted Trump, and 47.2% said they didn’t. The NEC attributed Trump’s “relatively high score” at the time to the “general disappointment with the hesitant policy of Joe Biden’s administration toward supporting Ukraine,” as well as Trump’s campaign promise to quickly negotiate a peace deal.

The peace agreement proposed by Washington reportedly includes US recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, freezing the conflict along the current front line, and acknowledging Moscow’s control over large parts of the four former Ukrainian regions that voted to join Russia. The deal would also reportedly prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and initiate a phased removal of sanctions imposed on Russia.The peace agreement proposed by Washington reportedly includes US recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, freezing the conflict along the current front line, and acknowledging Moscow’s control over large parts of the four former Ukrainian regions that voted to join Russia.
