Speaking with Italian journalist Cecilia Sali, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that the newly elected US President Donald Trump supports a quick end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, but it is Putin who does not want this.
I could feel it in the meeting that he wanted this. I told him frankly that Putin definitely does not want this, so it will not happen quickly.
At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian state noted that it is Donald Trump who “thanks to the strength, sanctions, strength of the United States, and the economy” can accelerate the outcome of Russia's war against Ukraine.
At least, that he can do it sooner than anyone else in the world today - in terms of the army, the economy, the impact on the world economy, and his personal characteristics. I believe that he can influence it definitely sooner than others.
“I believe that China is also very influential, but the United States is more so,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.
