Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is certain the war with Russia will “end sooner” than it otherwise would have once Donald Trump becomes US president.

He did not say whether Trump had made any demands regarding possible talks with Russia, but said he'd not heard anything from him that was contrary to Ukraine’s position.
Trump has consistently said his priority is to end the war - which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - and what he describes as a drain on US resources in the form of military aid to Kyiv.
Earlier this year, the US House of Representatives approved a $61bn (£49bn) military aid package.
The US has been the greatest supplier of arms to Ukraine. Between the start of the war and the end of June 2024, it delivered or committed to send weapons and equipment worth $55.5bn (£41.5bn), according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research organisation.
But domestically, support for arming Ukraine appears to have waned somewhat since the war began - particularly among Republican voters, who Trump successfully courted.

Is Ukraine one of the 50 states?
No.
OK, they get nothing.
War’s over.
Soon thereafter, the crowd at the Pryzinitskynanitskyprznk Bath House roared in approval as the leather-clad, three foot tall, grifting creep writhed onto the stage and screamed, "Slavo U Crayknee!!!" as he broke into a dance version of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's pipesmoker anthem, "Relax.".
Good. Then we can get Zelensky to start paying us back by having his army come here and protect America from an invasion. Our military is too busy training DEI BS.
And so THE CAMPAIGN OF FLATTERY BEGINS! Don’t fall for it President Trump!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 👠👠
In his own mind, he will always be the queen of THE Ukraine.
It sure will. Because we’re going to stop paying for it and using Eastern Europe as a channel for Dem party financing and corruption.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has immense natural resources. It’s payback time, dude!
😂😂🤣🤣
Trump doesn’t have to make any demands.
All he has to do is cut off the funding. Completely.
We will never, never, never; get anything even close back from these people. It was only money for the war mongers, deep state frauds, and criminal grifters of Ukraine to get wealthy on. They’ve stolen our wealth.
