Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war with Russia will end soon after Donald Trump becomes the US President. Zelensky said he had 'constructive discussions' about ending the war with Trump after he was elected president. However, he did not mention whether Trump will discuss with Russia about ending the war. The British media reported the information on BBC.
During the election campaign, Trump has always said that his priority is to end the war and stop the “waste” of US resources in the name of military aid to Ukraine.
In an interview with Ukrainian media Suspilon, Zelensky said, “The war will end quickly, according to the vision of the new leaders of the White House and their promises.”
He also said that Ukraine will do everything to end the war through diplomatic means within the next year.
Pointing out that Russian forces are becoming more aggressive, he said, the situation on the battlefield is very difficult. He will meet with Trump after Trump's inauguration in January.
Trump and Zelensky's relationship has always been tumultuous. Trump allegedly pressured Zelensky to find information on the Biden family in 2019.
However, Trump has insisted that he and Zelensky have a very good relationship. After the two met in New York in September, Trump said he had “learned a lot” from Zelensky and that he would find a “quick solution” to end the war. However, he has not revealed how to stop the war.
But Trump's Democratic rivals say Trump's cozy relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin amounts to a capitulation to Ukraine on war-related policy. And such a position of Trump-Putin will endanger the whole of Europe.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke with Trump after his victory. He told German media that the new US president would make his stance on the war “more nuanced”.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the South German newspaper that the phone call with Trump was “maybe surprising but detailed and good discussion”.
