Zelensky believes war to end sooner under Trump administration

Zelensky said this in an interview with the Suspilne public broadcaster, Ukrinform reports.

"He (Trump) has heard the basis on which we stand. I have not heard anything against our position," he emphasized.

To a clarifying question, whether Trump made a demand for Ukraine to participate in negotiations with Russia, Zelensky answered: "We are an independent country. And we, during this war, both our people and I, personally, are in negotiations with the United States, with both Trump and Biden, and with European leaders, proved that the ‘sit and listen’ rhetoric doesn’t work with us."

At the same time, according to the head of state, under the Trump administration, "the war will end sooner."

"It is very important for us to have a just peace, so that we do not feel that we have lost our best people because of the injustice that has been imposed on us. The war will end, but there is no exact date. Certainly, with the policies of the team that will now lead the White House, the war will end sooner. This is their approach, their pledge to their public, and it is also very important to them," Zelensky said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said his administration would focus on bringing Russia's war against Ukraine to an end.
