Posted • November 17, 2024: In a recent radio interview, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seemed confident that a diplomatic end to his country's war with Russia could come next year after President-Elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.

In the interview, Zelensky stated that Russian troops were making advancements in Eastern Ukraine and that battlefield conditions were 'Difficult'. - “From our side, we must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means,” Zelensky said. On the campaign trail, Donald Trump repeatedly stated that ending the war in Ukraine would be a top priority for his administration. Zelensky's comments appear to be a good first step in keeping that promise.
