Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes there are ways to end the war next year. “When will the war end? When Russia wants the war to end. When America takes a stronger position. When the global South is on the side of Ukraine and on the side of ending the war,” Zelensky said in an interview with foreign representatives Media in Kiev at the third International Conference on Food Security “Grains from Ukraine”.
He is confident that all these measures will be implemented and decisions will be made sooner or later. “It won’t be an easy path, but I’m confident that we have every chance of making it next year,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by the Ukrinform agency.
How will Trump behave?
“We are open to suggestions from leaders of African, Asian and Arab states,” Zelensky continued. “I also want to hear the proposals of the new President of the United States of America and I think we will hear them in January and we will have a plan to end this war.”
US President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly indicated during his election campaign that he wanted to scale back massive US military support for Kiev. Recently nothing has been heard of his earlier declaration that he could end the war within 24 hours.
Russia has been waging a war of aggression against its neighbor Ukraine for over two and a half years. Recently there was no indication from Moscow that it would give in to a quick end to the war.
