Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the war with Russia will "end sooner" with Donald Trump as U.S. president. He described a positive conversation with Trump, who emphasized the need to stop the conflict. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops and start talks with Ukraine. This marked their first conversation in nearly two years, which Zelenskyy criticized for potentially undermining efforts to isolate Putin. Russia announced it will suspend gas deliveries to Austria via Ukraine, with the route set to close by year-end. Ukraine will not extend its transit agreement with Gazprom, aiming to cut off funds for Russia's war efforts.
