Zelenskyy: Ukraine must end the war in 2025 through diplomatic means

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi during an interview

Ukraine must do everything to end the war in 2025. And the war must end diplomatically.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with Ukrainian Radio.

When he was asked about the conditions under which negotiations with Russia are possible, the president answered: «Under the conditions that Ukraine will not be alone with the Russian Federation, that it will be strong. What can be the negotiations with the killer? If we talk simply with Putin, simply with a murderer in the conditions in which we are now, not strengthened by some important elements, this is a losing status for Ukraine at the entrance. In a weak position, there is nothing to do in these negotiations.»

«The war will end, but there is no exact date. Certainly, with the policies of this team now in charge of the White House, the war will end sooner. This is their approach, their promise to their society, and it is also very important for them,» the president noted.
