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.”
The Guaido option will be pursued if there is not an anti-Russia government in Kyev, but it would fail as did the Guaido maneuver. Zelensky’s global real estate holding alone, as a result of this war are disqualifying as a legitimate Ukrainian leader in exile. His $20m Miami mansion would look especially bad to make press conferences from. It is more likely that the CIA-NGO long game restarts after a Russia friendly government. A provision in the peace deal that was agreed to a month after the war start was that regions would be allowed after X years to hold referendums in order to join a side. This is key to not making Ukraine a nazi state determined to extract western weapons funding for its naziism, because no one votes for that shit.
Oh yeah very much agree there.
