Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes the war with Russia could end sooner if Donald Trump becomes U.S. President. Trump has claimed he could resolve the conflict quickly, though he has not detailed how. Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy to end the war, which began in February 2022. He noted that U.S. law prevents him from meeting Trump before the inauguration on January 20. Russia's ambassador to the UN stated that Moscow would consider negotiations if initiated by Trump, but insisted any talks must recognize "realities on the ground," implying territorial concessions from Ukraine. Zelensky maintains that peace requires the withdrawal of all Russian forces.
