Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently expressed optimism regarding the end of the war in Ukraine, stating that it will conclude more swiftly under the leadership of the incoming US President. Zelensky made these remarks during a radio interview with a Ukrainian public broadcaster, emphasizing his belief that the war will eventually come to an end, although he did not provide a specific timeline.
Zelensky highlighted his confidence in the new US administration's approach and commitment to resolving the conflict, suggesting that their policies will contribute to expediting the peace process. He underscored the importance of the promises made by the incoming US leadership to their society in this regard.
On the other hand, President-elect Donald Trump, who is set to assume office for a second term, has consistently asserted that the war between Ukraine and Russia would not have erupted had he been in power. Trump previously claimed that he could bring an end to the conflict within a day, showcasing his confidence in his ability to resolve the situation swiftly.
During his election campaign, Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, raised doubts about the ongoing US support for Kyiv, signaling a potential shift in the country's foreign policy stance. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has persisted for over two and a half years, originating from the significant invasion of Russian forces in February 2022.
