According to him, Trump has the position of a strong president.
"People have hope that through this strength – and Putin only understands strength – there will be a strong president of a strong country next to us, next to me, and we will achieve peace. This is why people today have such hope for the new U.S. administration, for the new president, and they believe in what he says," Zelensky stated.
He clarified what Trump means when he talks about ending the war in 24 hours. According to Zelensky, it is not about resolving the issue of a full-scale war in a day – that is very complicated. It's about doing it quickly, the president believes.
"And I think it's important for this to happen sooner. Because every day we are losing people. But it's crucial that it ends in such a way that there is no possibility for it to start again," Zelensky noted.
