Zelenskyy seeks diplomatic resolution to Russia-Ukraine war by 2025

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hopes to end the war with Russia through diplomacy by 2025. This comes as Russia has gained ground in recent months, and the potential return of Donald Trump as U.S. President raises uncertainties about military aid to Ukraine. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for diplomatic efforts, stating that the war could end sooner with Trump in office. Meanwhile, North Korea has sent troops to support Russia, further complicating the conflict. This military cooperation follows a recent defense pact between Moscow and Pyongyang. Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Ukraine criticized as an attempt at appeasement. The G7 nations reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, stating that Russia remains the main obstacle to peace.
