Ukraine’s Zelensky: Trump ‘Can be Decisive’ and ‘Capable of Stopping Putin’
“I believe (Trump) is strong and unpredictable. I would very much like President Trump’s unpredictability to be directed primarily toward the Russian Federation.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once again reiterated his support for President-elect Donald Trump regarding the country’s war with Russia.
Reuters reported that Zelensky told Ukrainian television that Trump told him he would be one of the first dignitaries to visit D.C. after the inauguration.
Zelensky also praised Trump’s abilities:
Zelenskiy also said a priority was to stabilise the front line early in the new year. Putin, he said, feared negotiations as they would be tantamount to a defeat for Russia.
“Trump can be decisive. For us, this is the most important thing,” Zelenskiy said in a televised interview.
“His qualities are indeed there,” Zelenskiy said of Trump. “He can be decisive in this war. He is capable of stopping Putin or, to put it more fairly, help us stop Putin. He is able to do this.”
The Associated Press expanded on Zelensky’s interview. He also praised Trump’s strength and unpredictability:
However, Zelenskyy said it won’t be possible to end the almost three years of war in one day, as Trump claimed during his election campaign that he could do.
“The ‘hot’ stage of the war can end quite quickly, if Trump is strong in his position,” Zelenskyy said in a Ukrainian television interview late Thursday, referring to fighting on the battlefield.
“I believe (Trump) is strong and unpredictable. I would very much like President Trump’s unpredictability to be directed primarily toward the Russian Federation,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelensky also stressed that “any security guarantees without the United States are weak security guarantees for Ukraine.”
However, America must consider Ukraine’s views.
“It cannot be otherwise,” said Zelensky. “We are Ukraine and it’s our independence, our land and our future.”
Unlike others, Zelensky wants Trump to “establish quick contact with Russia.” You know the brains of the left and media would explode if Trump reached out to Putin right away.
But as we can tell, Ukraine is tired of Russia’s aggression that started in 2014.

peace now.
Pelosky and Zelensky wear the same size shoes—red high heel pradas—peace now and forever more!!!
Remember, Trump promised America and all of the world that he would end the Russia/Ukraine war within 24 hours. We shall see.
Ahhhh, you’re more excited about not getting peace within 24 hours than you are about all the killing that’s done on for the last couple years 🤔🙄
It probably won’t be sitting 24 hours but that war is coming to an end this year and the left will be bitterly disappointed Ukrainians aren’t being killed as a sacrifice to their cult like gods.
When the Ukraine war is ended, the vile leftists/Dhimmi-crats will only have Hamas/Hezb’allah to cheer on.
Sweet Sister Josephine
More infantile, anti-Trump sentiment from your greasy keyboard.
If a peace deal takes 72 hours to achieve, you will no doubt still whine and complain about that.
After three years of carnage and dangerous and stupid escalation by Biden and his chaperones (lobbing American-made, long-range missiles into Russian territory), how long a peace deal takes to achieve is what raises your pique — not the deleterious and destabilizing effects of a protracted stalemate war.
As usual, the tools of the left take Trump’s words literally and then try to create a firestorm. Every rational person knows he didn’t mean exactly 24 hours but very quickly. You need to have your TDS looked at. 8 years of a mental illness is too long to go without treatment.
Clown comment, bro… your TDS has left a really ugly rash where your face used to be.
As “Diver64” has correctly pointed out, you lefties take Trump literally, while the rest of us take him seriously.
I’d call you a complete tool, except tools are useful.
You, OTOH, aren’t.
Putz.
Little person syndrome, probably the same little person that was vanquished many years ago.
IMO Trump has no problem going “balls to the wall” as a tactic. He also may use energy as as strategy to collapse many of the actors economies as well as our domestic inflation. How about a declaration of an inflation, fiscal deficit and war emergency situation, directing energy companies to pump 24/7. Cutting oil from $70 to $40 a barrel, would cut inflation, cut the deficit due to lower interest rates, and hammer the oil revenue dependent economies of Russia, Iran etc. IMO Russia would settle for a Korean type situation, with a Western guarantee of some boundary, but not making Ukraine a member of NATO. I also think it could be done within 6 months.
Not one additional cent.
No one has successfully explained to me the strategic importance of our involvement in this war.
I do not care about Russia.
I do not care about Ukraine.
I long ago concluded that the money being sent there is simply being returned to line pickets here.
Keep in mind as we continue to send money we do not have to places we do not need to support there are Americans living outdoors in the winter in North Carolina that are being ignored.
This rotten af man and his equally awful administration cannot go away soon enough.
Ukraine is tired of Russian aggression that started in 2014.
How convenient that you omitted what happened in 2014 (and before) to provoke that aggression. Do the names “Victoria Nuland” and “Maidan” ring a bell? I’d expected better from LI columnists than this selective citation of history.
Well, nobody’s opinions are going to change at this late date. If you are convinced that Russia is evil and expansionist, then facts won’t sway you.
But interestingly, I have yet to hear from the pro-Ukie folks any curiosity over exactly *where* the billions upon billions of dollars we’ve already shoveled into Ukraine went, since there has been zero transparency or accountability over that treasure.
I know why the MIC and the parasite class love this war in Ukraine, but why do the folks with the blue and yellow flag stickers?
They have literally killed off their most productive generation
I think that Zelensky is a con artist collaborating with our political con artists. That doesn’t mean that Putin should win.
How about all the money Ukraine has received to date be converted to a loan that they must pay off?
