"We want to finish the war fairly": Zelensky will meet Trump after his inauguration

The President of Ukraine stated this during a briefing following the meeting with the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk in Warsaw. Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the United States is a "strategic partner of stability in the world" and the largest donor of Ukraine in the war against the Russian invaders. Following the inauguration of Donald Trump, the President of Ukraine expects to continue the help of assistance to Ukraine.

"Our teams are already working on the content and format of the upcoming meeting. We will not go there now. We will not go in detail now. We need this confidence that Russia will not return again with the war against Ukraine. He added that such guarantees may be future memberships in the European Union and NATO, armament packages and support for the Ukrainian army, which cannot be reduced when there is a constant threat of a new Russian attack.

"Of course, meetings with the new president, with his new team will be. They will be worked. We are not ready to communicate about dates," the Ukrainian leader said. In addition, Zelensky said that there are now more than 600 thousand Russian military in Ukraine. The number of personnel of the Defense Forces of Ukraine is 880 thousand, but the Ukrainian army is forced to defend the entire territory of the state, while the invaders are concentrated in several sections of the front.

Therefore, one of the safety guarantees, according to the President, should be the placement of peacekeepers in Ukraine to protect against future attacks. "Russian troops are focused on several directions, so in some areas they have quantitative advantages and when the war is over, we have to understand what contingent of other countries is. We support this idea and have to understand how much it is. Second, we need to understand what There will be an army of Ukraine, "Zelensky said.

He also said that now about 33-34% of the weapons needed, Ukraine produces itself, while before a full-scale invasion, this figure was less than 10%. In this case, the drones, according to Zelensky, Ukraine produces more than Russia. We will remind, on January 15 the news agency Reuters reported that Trump advisers outlined new terms to end the war in Ukraine. According to journalists, the Presidential associates suggest that the war will last for at least a month.
