In the interview, security expert Frank Umbach explains that Donald Trump's advisors may adopt a different course than the incoming president himself. This shift could lead to a tougher policy towards Russia, potentially in the form of sanctions and military pressure. Umbach suspects that Trump might coordinate with Putin in the short term to align interests with China. Regarding China, he notes that Beijing is likely pursuing its own strategic goals, which may contrast with Western positions and further complicate the geopolitical situation.

The geopolitical landscape surrounding Russia and Ukraine could change with the shift in power in the United States. The policy of the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump, may impact the Western strategy towards Russia, especially in terms of sanctions and military pressure. At the same time, China is pursuing its own agenda, which plays a significant role in this global tension. The differing interests of the U.S. and China could influence the dynamics in Ukraine and other international relations.
