Donald Trump’s election victory means the war in Ukraine will end sooner than expected, Volodymyr Zelensky has predicted.

The Ukrainian president has also called for an end to the conflict with Russia by “diplomatic means”.

“It is certain that the war will end sooner with the policies of the team that will now lead the White House,” Mr Zelensky told Ukrainian news outlet Suspilne. “This is their approach, their promise to their citizens.”
