Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed confidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will hasten the end of the war with Russia, following their “constructive exchange” after Trump’s election victory.
Zelensky emphasized the need for a diplomatic resolution by next year, while acknowledging Ukraine’s challenges on the battlefield.
Trump, criticized for his alleged leniency toward Vladimir Putin, has vowed to end the war quickly but has not detailed his strategy.
The U.S. remains Ukraine’s largest arms supplier, recently approving $61 billion in aid.
Exactly. While pride from Zelensky would feel great I’m sure, it would come at the cost of many more Ukrainian lives. Best to suck up to the wannabe dictator and hope he’s generous.
Surrendering power and appeasing dictators, famous for not backfiring. /s
He’s willing to suck up to an asshole for his citizens. It’s an excellent mark of leadership.
Could be they need to make sure trump gets something out of it, and he will come around to Ukraine.
