Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed confidence that Donald Trump’s presidency will hasten the end of the war with Russia, following their “constructive exchange” after Trump’s election victory.
Zelensky emphasized the need for a diplomatic resolution by next year, while acknowledging Ukraine’s challenges on the battlefield.
Trump, criticized for his alleged leniency toward Vladimir Putin, has vowed to end the war quickly but has not detailed his strategy.
The U.S. remains Ukraine’s largest arms supplier, recently approving $61 billion in aid.
Giving Ukraine a nuclear deterrent may be Netanyahu’s Churchill moment, i.e. one good action made by someone with an otherwise uniformly shitty record
