Zelensky: Russia is making progress, the war must end with negotiations  - 1

Ukraine must do everything possible to end the war with Russia next year on the path of diplomacy, said President Volodymyr Zelensky, quoted by Reuters.

At the same time, in a radio interview broadcast today, the Ukrainian head of state again stated that, in his opinion, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is not interested in negotiating a peace deal.

The situation on the front in eastern Ukraine is difficult and Russia is making progress, he admitted.

Yesterday Zelensky said that under the next US President Donald Trump "the war will end faster".

He expressed satisfaction with his recent contacts with Trump despite concerns that American aid to Ukraine may decrease under the next owner of the White House, notes France Presse.

In recent months, Russian armed forces have been slowly but methodically advancing in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region.
