kyiv.– The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky believes there is a strong chance that the war will end in 2025 once Republican Donald Trump has been inaugurated as president of the United States at the end of January.
“It will be a difficult road, but I am confident that we have every chance to achieve it next year,” Zelensky said at the Third International Ukrainian Grain Conference.
He explained that the war “It will end when Russia decides it wants to end it”but also when the United States “takes a stronger position” and “when the Global South comes to Ukraine’s side and in favor of ending” the conflict.
Concrete steps to end the conflict
Zelensky maintained that there are concrete steps to end the war included in the Ukrainian Peace Formula, although Russia “will not agree” with all of them, he admitted.
“But there is the UN Charter and all our actions are based on it. We hope they have the support of our partners,” he added.
Zelensky stressed that he does not want the world to think that Ukraine is only insisting on its own peace plan, as Russia wants to make it seem.
“We are open to the proposals of the leaders of the African countries, Asia and the Arab States. I also want to hear suggestions from the new president of the United States. “I think we will see them in January and we will have a plan to end this war,” he concluded.
