“We are closer to the end of the war” with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Monday in an interview with ABC News, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “afraid” because of Ukraine’s ongoing incursion into the western Kursk region. Zelenskiy is in the US to attend the UN General Assembly and later in the week will travel to Washington to present a “victory plan” to the White House.
Decisive actions by the United States now could hasten the end of the Russian war against Ukraine next year, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday after telling the ABC News that his country was “closer to the end of the war.”
“Now, at the end of the year, we have a real opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Ukraine and the United States,” Zelenskiy said in a post on his Telegram messaging app after meeting with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress.
“Decisive action now could hasten the just end of Russian aggression against Ukraine next year.”
Zelenskiy is in the United States for the U.N. General Assembly. Later in the week he will travel to Washington to present his “victory plan” and influence White House policy on the war no matter who wins the U.S. election on Nov. 5.
On Monday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump – who says he will end the war within days if elected – claimed without evidence that Zelenskiy wanted the Democrats to win in November.
