Quote: "I’m sure that a quick end to the war means losses… if it’s just quick, then it means losses for Ukraine. I simply don’t understand it any other way for now. Maybe there’s something we don’t know or see. It happens. A little time is needed."

Details: Zelenskyy mentioned that he hasn’t yet discussed this with Trump but will listen to the new US president’s proposals in due course. "One thing is clear to me: he genuinely wants an end to the war," the Ukrainian leader emphasised.

Background: Trump has repeatedly claimed that, if elected, he would end the war in Ukraine within just one day. The Kremlin called this promise "a kind of exaggeration".
