Zelenskyy believes Ukraine war could end sooner with Trump as president

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes the war in Ukraine will end sooner under President-elect Donald Trump. He described a recent phone call with Trump as "constructive" and expressed hope for U.S. support in resolving the conflict. Zelenskyy noted that Trump’s administration may have a different approach compared to the current U.S. leadership. However, concerns remain among Ukrainians about potential demands to cede territory to Russia as part of any peace agreement. Trump has criticized U.S. aid to Ukraine and previously claimed he could resolve the conflict quickly. Russia has indicated a willingness to negotiate if talks are based on current realities, but skepticism remains about the feasibility of a swift resolution.
