Our allies will certainly be careful what they tell a Trump admnistration given their coziness with Russia, our adversary.

Yep.

The problem is that what @Estro Felino calls a "compromise", is really no more or less then Ukrainian surrender.
She doesn't care one bit about what happens to Ukraine as long as her hero Putin emerges victorious and gets what he wants.

Maybe I don't know. Do do know President Trump will do his very best to effect a win-win-compromise to stop the war.

Win-win, in the situation where one side has committed the ultimate international crime and the other is defending it's home?

The best way of settling this would be for the aggressors to face justice in the Hague.

Win-win to Trump is a solution that is satisfactory to and agreed to by both sides .

It's an incredible win-win because Ukraine will join the European Union and will be reconstructed.
And will finally be free from the Russian influence.

Not sure how it will all play out. Right up to the Russia/Ukraine war, Russia was the No. 1 most corrupt nation in Europe and the Ukraine was No. 2. Zelensky rose to power on promises of reform but those reforms didn't happen. If anything, Zelensky increased the problem.

Ukraine's Zelenskiy ran on a reform platform — Is he delivering?

President Zelenskiy can still turn things around and become the pro-reform, anti-corruption champion that he promised Ukrainian voters, but if he does not, he will most likely follow in the footsteps of Presidents Yushchenko and Poroshenko, who were ousted by Ukrainian voters after one term.

The Ukraine was awarded E.U. candidate status mostly out of sympathy for Russia's invasion and making war on that country. But when hostilities cease, the EU powers will have to consider if the Ukraine meets the standards required of E.U. members.

Of course. The corruption rose.
But the EU laws have anti-corruption laws... Europeans hunt down corrupt politicians as if they were adorable little mice:

Ukrainians haven't understood that they can't have the cake and eat it.
They must eliminate corruption and implement freedom of speech...if they wanna meet those standards.
