You can’t end the Ukraine conflict overnight.”
I would tell Zelenskyy: no more. You’ve got to make a deal”
This would be a capitulation to Putin rewarding him for his war crimes
Any forced peace that would give Russia a veneer of winning territory would potentially stimulate World War Three.
What we see more and more is that North Korea, Iran, China and of course Russia are working together, working together against Ukraine,
The Biden administration is reportedly attempting to expedite as much as $9bn worth of military aid, agreed but not yet transferred. This is far from straightforward, not least because weaponry and ammunition are still being produced and because the next president could stop agreed shipments. But it is essential.”
That’s not going to change. We’re going to surge and get that out there to Ukraine. We understand how important it is to make sure they have what they need,
The Ukrainian president maintains intense contacts with Trump and his team. [The] presidents had a good meeting in New York [Sept. 27], where it was important to lay out Ukraine’s vision,
We cannot know for sure what the new administration’s policy will be regarding the war … Of course, [Trump’s previously stated] promise to end the war in 24 hours is alarming, because [that] is hardly possible under conditions that would guarantee lasting peace in Europe and not destroy Ukraine,
It was extremely important for us in Ukraine and for all of Europe to consistently hear the words of [Trump in his first term as president] about peace through strength.

Many of our partners need to be reminded what preceded Russia’s full-scale aggression — an ultimatum for NATO to roll back to its 1997 borders. Many times in the past, we have seen partners ignoring Ukraine’s warnings. In the end we have been proven right,
It is not without reason that [former U.S. President] Ronald Reagan is mentioned so often these days — people want confidence, they want freedom, a normal life. And for us, this means a life free from Russian aggression, and with a strong America, with a strong Ukraine, with strong allies,
We have been very rational since the very beginning. Ukraine and President Zelenskyy aim at achieving results and deals, really anticipating cooperation with the Trump administration when they [take] office,
Biden's last act as president could help shift the tides in favor of Ukraine by depriving Moscow of this shielded area,
If you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give them a lot … More than they ever got.”
