Zelensky posted on social media that he had congratulated Donald Trump for his victory in the presidential election.
Zelensky wrote: “I had a great phone conversation with President Trump, and congratulated on his historic and decisive win — a result that was made possible by his outstanding campaign.”
“We agreed to keep a close dialogue and enhance our cooperation. “A strong and unwavering U.S. leader is essential for the peace and security of the world,” Zelensky said.
On Nov. 5, former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris by a large margin. Trump will now be inaugurated as president-elect on Jan. 20, 2020.
Zelensky and Trump did not provide any additional details about the call.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the Ukrainian President while on the campaign trail.
Trump has blamed Zelensky and Biden for the Russian invasion of Ukraine without mentioning Putin. He also referred to Zelensky’s role as a “salesman”, for securing too much military assistance, which Trump considered excessive.
Zelensky had congratulated Trump via social media immediately after the election results. He expressed his hope for “strong bipartisan US support for Ukraine.”
In his evening speech, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed appreciation for the United States’ strong support of Ukraine during the full-scale conflict, and urged President-elect Donald Trump maintain strong relationships with the embattled nation.
Zelensky stated that “we have the potential to strengthen our cooperation on defense, economy, and the future after war.” “This will make Ukraine, America and the free world more successful.”
Zelensky’s relationship with Trump is complicated. A major scandal centered around a phone call in 2019 during which the then-President Trump allegedly pressured Zelensky into investigating his political rivals through withholding military assistance. The phone call led the first impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Zelensky, despite the past tensions, has tried to mend the relations. He visited Trump in New York, during the campaign, to share Ukraine’s 5-point victory plan with Republican candidate.
Zelensky invited Trump, who accepted, to visit Ukraine. However, this visit has not yet taken place.
Scholz partially justified his decision in a statement he issued following the dismissal. He noted that he had asked Lindner, who was responsible for the spending rules, to relax them to allow more aid to Ukraine. Lindner refused.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president, said: “On defense, the economy, and the future after war, we have the potential to strengthen our cooperation.” “This will make Ukraine, America and the free world more successful.”
“That doesn’t necessarily mean that we are celebrating what Vladimir Putin did, or are excited about him. But I think there needs to be some commonsense here.” Rubio said that we are funding a stalemate which is costing lives… Ukraine will take 100 years to rebuild, with all the challenges they face.
As Donald Trump wins the U.S. Presidential election, Ukrainians prepare themselves for what this means for their nation.
Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, said: “We will discuss the security challenges in Europe as well as opportunities for all partners.”
“This is not the final defeat. It is only a battle lost,” pro-Russian newcomer political Alexandr Stoianoglo stated three days after voting.
Denyslysenko, the head of the department that focuses on war crimes, stated that 49 criminal investigations are underway regarding the executions of Ukrainian POWs.
Trump has repeatedly stated that he could end the war with Russia “in 24 hours.” What is his plan for the future?
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated that “Trump has a quality which is useful to us. As a businessman at heart, he hates to spend money on freeloaders and idiotic allies. He also dislikes charity projects and greedy international organisations.”
The Russian newspaper Vedomosti reported that on November 5, four unnamed sources in importing companies said that the Chinese state-owned Sinosure, which insures export supplies for non-payment, has started to refuse to work with Russian entrepreneurs.
According to EXPRO calculations, gross natural-gas production increased by 2.3% in October 2020 compared to the same period last year, reaching 1.66 billion cubic meters – the highest level since the month of January 2022.
