Even before Donald Trump's election victory, the president-elect expressed his intention to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to an end as soon as possible.

It is common to hear Trump described as isolationist, but such rhetoric is undercut by established facts and prior Republican positions.

President Trump is coming into office in January, and he is inheriting a war that will be almost three years old at that point between Russia and Ukraine. It has been a bloody, really horrible conflict. The US has spent billions of dollars supporting the Ukrainian military.
