Election of new US president could have "significant" impact on war in Ukraine – Zelenskyy
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the first decisions of the US president elected in 2024 could "significantly" affect the course of the war in Ukraine if US policy becomes more "domestic".

Details: The head of state suggested that if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, "he will definitely have a different policy", while regardless of the specific candidate, his "first signals" in politics will be important.
Quote: "If the policy of the next president, whoever they are, is different towards Ukraine, colder or more domestic, i.e. more focused on domestic policy, more economical, then I think these signals will have a significant impact on the course of the war in Ukraine…
If one powerful piece falls out, the mechanism starts to crumble, and so if we allow the leaders of this assistance, the US, to fall out of the platform of assistance, it will definitely have an impact and it will definitely not be positive for assistance in Europe."
Background:
- Trump, the former US president, has repeatedly said that he has a "plan" to ensure peace in Ukraine within 24 hours if he returns to the top position.
- Last month, Zelenskyy invited Donald Trump, who had previously said that as US president he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day, to visit Ukraine.
- Trump refused, citing a "conflict of interest" with the current Joe Biden administration.
