Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that US President-elect Donald Trump's "unpredictability" could help end the war with Russia, AFP reports.
"He is very strong and unpredictable and I would really like to see President Trump's unpredictability applied to Russia. I believe he really wants to end the war," Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian leader has been trying to build bridges with Trump and his team since November's election amid fears the Republican could delay vital U.S. military aid or stop it altogether.
Zelensky stated that he supports the idea of France deploying peacekeepers to Ukraine to ensure a future peace agreement with Russia should one arise. He stressed that this should be a step toward joining the NATO military alliance.
"We support this initiative, but France alone is not enough. We would not want to be one or two countries if it comes to this initiative. It should definitely be on the way to NATO," Zelensky said. | BGNES
