Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes the war with Russia will "end sooner" following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory. In a statement to Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelensky highlighted his "constructive exchange" with Trump, expressing hope for diplomatic resolution in 2025. Trump, who promises to prioritize ending the war, has faced criticism for alleged leniency toward Russian President Vladimir Putin. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, however, described Trump’s stance as "nuanced." Meanwhile, Russia continues battlefield advances. The U.S., Ukraine’s largest arms supplier, has allocated $61 billion in military aid, fueling ongoing debates over American involvement.
