Ukrainian leader says he is unaware of details of Trump plan to end war, bridles at ceasefire talk
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday he was not aware of any details of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's plan to end the Ukraine war quickly and he was convinced a rapid end would entail major concessions for Kyiv, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.
The Ukrainian leader told a news conference at the European Political Community summit in Budapest that he believed Trump wanted to end the war with Russia quickly, but that he had not discussed a plan with him.
"If it's just fast, it means losses for Ukraine. I just don't yet understand how this could be in any other way. Maybe we do not know something, do not see," he said.
"I believe President Trump really wants a quick decision. Wants - it does not mean that it will happen. And I'm (talking) here without any reproach, I am just saying that we are where we are," he told reporters.
Zelenskyy said: "We must be preparing for any decision. We want a fair end to the war. I am sure that the imminent end of the war means losses."
