Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through "diplomatic means" as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.

In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end "sooner" than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president.

The prospect of Trump returning to power in the United States next year has raised questions about the future of the conflict, as the Republican has been critical of U.S. military aid to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine "must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means."

These claims of genocide by Russia are projection by Western propaganda.

Not sure what a random definition without explanation, follow be so called "western propaganda", say about genocide in Russia. All you've proven is that the west claims there is genocide. That barely tells us anything at all about Russia!

Let me complete your case and actually include something from the Kremlin as opposed to only "western propaganda". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCWBhuDdDo Here Putin explains why he started this war. He turns the interview into a 2 hour lecture about why Ukrainians don't and never existed and therefor can't have the free will to want to be independent and must be reminded of how they're all actually Russian. Now if that's not a textbook definition of genocide, I don't know what is.
