Ukraine's Strategic Calculations Amid Potential Trump Presidency

TL;DR Summary
Despite Donald Trump's complex history with Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains hopeful about working with Trump's administration. Ukraine plans to appeal to Trump's transactional nature by emphasizing its natural resources and potential benefits to American business, rather than focusing on defending democracy. While Trump's election is seen as a setback for Ukraine, officials believe they can still secure support by highlighting economic and strategic advantages, despite Trump's past comments and the Republican Party's growing opposition to aiding Ukraine.
