Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through "diplomatic means" as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.

In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end "sooner" than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president.

The prospect of Trump returning to power in the United States next year has raised questions about the future of the conflict, as the Republican has been critical of U.S. military aid to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine "must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means."

Ukraine suspended all national/local elections, because he can't possibly win anything again. Fleeing while claiming to be a hero is certain.

He doesn't care about what anybody in Ukraine things, the key part is to make sure he can be the next Guaido for the US. If he flees too soon then there's going to be a new government formed without him and he becomes irrelevant. So, he's going to wait till there's a full on collapse to flee and claim to be government in exile.
