Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's 'strong and unpredictable' nature could be key in addressing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While he expressed optimism about the potential for swift progress, Zelenskyy cautioned that achieving peace won’t happen instantly. As the war enters its fourth year, with ongoing Russian control of significant Ukrainian territory, Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of continued U.S. military support and raised questions about future NATO membership for Ukraine. The situation remains tense, with international discussions ongoing about peacekeeping and strategic support for Ukraine.
