"I think that nothing will change (after Trump's inauguration). We could look back at how everything has been since 2014: the fighting just calmed down in some time. I think the same will happen now, after the full-scale invasion. I think that Trump won't help in this situation."
:: Stanislav, Ukrainian Serviceman
"I don't think so. Ukrainians will stop the war. Trump couldn't do it."
:: Anton Dubchak, Student
"I think that he (Trump) could help (end the war) but it won't be quick and it is not a fact that it would be in our favour. I can't say anything about it. At the frontline, everything is terrible."
Donald Trump will be sworn in as U.S. president on Monday, ushering in another turbulent four-year term with promises to push the limits of executive power, deport millions of immigrants, secure retribution against his political enemies and transform the role of the U.S. on the world stage.
Trump has pledged to end the Russia-Ukraine war on his first day, but his advisers say any peace deal will take months.
