Russia Conflict: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine war would soon be over with Trump coming to office
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy feels that Russia's ongoing war against his country will 'end sooner' once US President Donald Trump becomes President next year.
"Of course the war will be over sooner with the policy of this team, who will now govern the White House," Zelenskyy was quoted as saying to Suspilne as reported Pravda.
"That is their approach, their pledge to their society, and it is very important for them too," he said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy extended his congratulations to Donald Trump following his victory in the 2024 US presidential election.
In a message released on November 6, Zelenskyy expressed hope that under Trump’s leadership, the strong partnership between Ukraine and the United States would continue to thrive, even as global analysts predict a potential shift in US foreign policy priorities.
“I look forward to working with President Trump to further our shared goals of peace and stability in Eastern Europe and around the world,” Zelenskyy’s message read, underscoring Ukraine’s gratitude for the past military and humanitarian aid that has been critical in Ukraine’s defence against the Russian invasion.
In the nearly 1,000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, thousands of civilians have been killed, the country’s energy capacity is on the brink of collapse and drones terrify communities on the frontline, the UN’s top aid official in the country said on Friday
Speaking in Geneva, Matthias Schmale described the anguish felt by Ukrainians as the war grinds on: “As we are not only approaching winter but also the sad 1,000-day mark since the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion in 2022, we are of course thinking of the more than 12,000 people who have been killed.”
“To date, civilian infrastructure has been decimated with over 2,000 attacks now on healthcare facilities and two million damaged homes.”
Almost four in 10 people in Ukraine need humanitarian assistance but one of the most pressing concerns is for people living in high-rise buildings who face their third consecutive freezing winter, because of “systematic attacks” on energy infrastructure.
