Zelenskiy says Ukraine war could end faster with Trump as president

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that the war with Russia could end more quickly under Donald Trump, the U.S. president-elect. Trump has promised to rapidly resolve the conflict, though specifics were not provided. In a recent radio interview, Zelenskiy emphasized the need for diplomatic efforts to end the war by next year. He noted that U.S. law prevents him from meeting Trump before his inauguration on January 20. Zelenskiy expressed skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin's willingness to negotiate, suggesting that Moscow prefers to continue fighting while discussing peace. Meanwhile, Russia is reportedly making significant advances on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine.
