Zelenskyy commented on Trump's peace idea: A quick end to the war is a loss

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the promise of US President-elect Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Zelenskyy said this at a press conference following the summit of the European Political Community in Budapest on November 7.

The publication Ukrainian Pravda reports.

«I'm sure that a quick end to the war is a loss... if it's just quick, then it's a loss for Ukraine. I just don't understand how it is in a different way yet. Maybe we don't know something, we don't see it. It happens like that. We need a little time,» said Zelenskyy.

Zelensky noted that he has not yet discussed this with Trump, but will listen to the relevant proposals of the new US president later.

«One thing is clear to me that he really wants an end,» the Ukrainian leader emphasized.

It was previously reported that if Donald Trump is elected to the post of US president, he may take the initiative to freeze the conflict between Russia and Ukraine along the current front line.

Election of the 47th President of the USA

Voting in the presidential elections ended on November 6 in the USA — the last polling stations were closed in Alaska. Even before the official results were announced, Donald Trump declared himself the winner of the election. The Republican got 240 votes, while Democrat Kamala Harris got 213.

During the speech in Florida, Trump already made a number of statements. In particular, he assured that he plans to stop all wars in the world.

A number of country leaders have already congratulated Trump on his victory: French President Emmanuel Macron, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. For the first time, they commented on the results of the US elections in China, expressing hope for further peaceful and mutually beneficial relations.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also congratulated US President Donald Trump on his victory in the elections. He noted that he hopes for the implementation of the «peace through strength» approach for a just end to the war in Ukraine.

Also, Vice President Kamala Harris called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his victory in the presidential elections.

But in Russia, they are in no hurry to congratulate Trump on his victory. The press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmytro Peskov, said that he did not know whether the leader of the new president would welcome them, because «the USA is an unfriendly country.»

We will remind that the candidate for the presidency of the United States, Donald Trump, officially won the election, having received 277 votes of the voters against the required 270.

In addition, the fortunes of the ten richest people in the world increased sharply by 63.5 billion dollars after the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential elections in the United States.
