Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has openly questioned former U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion that he could resolve Russia’s war against Ukraine within 24 hours if re-elected in 2024. During an interview with NBC News, Zelensky extended an invitation for Trump to visit Ukraine and witness the devastating impact of Russia’s invasion, emphasizing that Trump’s confidence in a quick resolution might be misplaced.
Zelensky expressed his appreciation for President Joe Biden’s earlier visit to Ukraine, highlighting the nuanced understanding that can only be gained on the ground. While Ukraine’s counteroffensive has made limited territorial gains, Russian forces continue to occupy a significant portion of Ukrainian territory, and fresh offensives have occurred in various regions.
Zelensky remains determined to pursue victory in this ongoing conflict, believing that Ukraine still maintains the initiative despite the formidable challenges.
