Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulates President-elect Donald Trump on his election win and said he is open to meeting, even before Trump takes office. NBC News' Keir Simmons has more Putin's comments.
KYIV — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukraine must do all it can to ensure the war with Russia ends next year through diplomacy, commenting at a decisive moment after Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election win and Russia’s grinding battlefield gains. However, Zelenskyy said Russian President Vladimir Putin was not interested in agreeing to a peace deal, and argued it was convenient for Moscow to sit down to talk while continuing to fight.
Zelenskyy said the war was likely to end quicker under Trump, who said often during his campaign that he would rapidly end the conflict, without giving specifics. Zelenskyy said U.S. law prevented him from meeting Trump before his inauguration on Jan. 20. “We will do everything that depends on us . We had a really good meeting in September,” Zelenskyy said, adding he would only talk with Trump himself rather than any emissary or advisor.
