Kyiv [Ukraine], November 17: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is certain the war with Russia will "end sooner" than it otherwise would have once Donald Trump becomes US president.
Zelensky said he had a "constructive exchange" with Trump during their phone conversation after his victory in the US presidential election.
Trump has consistently said his priority is to end the war - which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - and what he describes as a drain on US resources in the form of military aid to Kyiv.
