Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through “diplomatic means” as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end “sooner” than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president.

The prospect of Trump returning to power in the United States next year has raised questions about the future of the conflict, as the Republican has been critical of U.S. military aid to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine “must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means.”

    Yes, after it was peaceful, it escalated. Peace was the first option, and then the dictator started murdering people. Pretending “just asking” gets dramatic change is horrible, especially when your own referenced article said it was “terribly one-sided.”

    There’s no use talking to someone who supports slaughter of schoolchildren like you.

      Lol, yes yes it’s always so peaceful when you prepare weapons and arms. Molotovs as simple as they are are still something you have to prep. If you’re prepping bombs, you’re not going there peacefully. You are the one promoting school children deaths by telling them to attack people with weapons.
