Quote: "A just peace is critical for us, so that we do not feel we have lost the best only to have injustice forced upon us. The war will end, but there is no set date. Of course, with the policy of this team, who will now govern the White House, the war will be over sooner. This is their approach, their pledge to their society, and it is really essential to them."

Zelenskyy further claimed that during his conversation with Trump, he heard nothing "against our position".

To a clarifying question whether Trump will have Ukraine participating in negotiations with Russia, Zelenskyy responded: "We are an independent country. And we proved during this war – our people, as much as I personally in conversations with the United States, Trump, Biden, and European leaders – that the approach of ‘sit down and listen’ does not work with us."

Background: On 7 November, Zelenskyy had a telephone conversation with Donald Trump and congratulated him on his victory in the US presidential elections.
