Will Trump Force Putin to End the War? Poles Believe in the Power of the U.S. President
As the global community awaits new developments in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, a recent poll suggests that many Poles believe former U.S. President Donald Trump could play a decisive role in ending the conflict. A survey conducted by United Surveys for Wirtualna Polska indicates that a significant portion of Polish respondents think Trump will push Vladimir Putin toward peace negotiations.
Poles on Trump’s Potential Influence
The survey asked: “Do you believe that Donald Trump will force Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace?” The results show that 16.7% of respondents answered “definitely yes,” while another 26.8% selected “rather yes.” This means that a total of 43.5% of those surveyed have faith in Trump’s ability to influence Putin.
On the other hand, 35.2% expressed skepticism, with 33.3% choosing “rather no” and 1.9% responding “definitely no.” Meanwhile, 21.3% of respondents were uncertain and answered “I don’t know/difficult to say.”
The survey was conducted between January 24-26, 2025, using CATI & CAWI methods (telephone and online interviews) on a sample of 1,000 individuals.
Trump’s Promises and the Peace Plan
During his U.S. presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that he would make every effort to end Russia’s aggression against Ukraine as quickly as possible. These declarations have fueled speculation about his potential strategy for bringing both sides to the negotiating table.
According to Bloomberg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is expected to present a peace plan at the Munich Security Conference, which takes place from February 14-16. The proposed plan may involve freezing the conflict, granting an undefined status to Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories, and providing security guarantees for Ukraine.
While the details of Trump’s proposed solution remain unclear, the prospect of a diplomatic breakthrough continues to generate discussions among experts and the public alike. With nearly half of Poles expressing confidence in Trump’s potential influence, it remains to be seen whether his approach will lead to real progress in ending the war.
Would Trump’s leadership bring an end to the war, or will the conflict persist despite diplomatic efforts? The world is watching closely.
