Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed optimism that a “strong” Donald Trump could broker peace talks with Russia and end the war in Ukraine. In interviews, Zelensky stated that Trump's strength and unpredictability could be decisive in forcing Russia into negotiations. He also emphasized that security guarantees from the U.S. are crucial for any ceasefire agreement with Russia, warning that without them, Trump would be 'giving Putin a pass.'
