Zelensky calls for end to Ukraine war by 2025 as Trump returns to presidency

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the war with Russia must end by 2025. He believes the conflict will conclude sooner with Donald Trump returning to the U.S. presidency, following a constructive phone call between the two leaders. Zelensky acknowledged that Russian forces are gaining territory but emphasized Ukraine's commitment to ending the war through diplomacy. He indicated that Trump did not pressure Ukraine to negotiate with Russia against its wishes. Recent reports suggest that Russia is facing significant challenges, with heavy losses in battles. Meanwhile, concerns have been raised about the potential for nuclear escalation if the war continues without resolution.
