Zelensky Optimistic Trump's Presidency Will Expedite Ukraine War Resolution

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes the conflict with Russia may end sooner under Donald Trump's incoming administration, emphasizing diplomatic efforts.

Zelensky expressed hope that the new U.S. administration under President-elect Trump could speed up the end of the war through diplomatic means.
Trump has suggested a potential peace deal that could involve Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, a proposal that has sparked concern among Ukrainian officials.
European leaders are cautiously considering Trump's push for negotiations, which could relieve them from filling the gap if U.S. aid diminishes.
The conflict has persisted for over two and a half years, with Russia currently controlling approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory.
Zelensky remains firm on Ukraine's sovereignty, asserting that any negotiations must not compromise the nation's territorial integrity.
