Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly congratulated Trump on his "impressive" 2024 election victory, expressing optimism about future U.S. support for Ukraine as the country continues its struggle to repel Russian forces.

"Congratulations to Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!" Zelensky wrote in a message posted on X. He also referenced a recent meeting between the two leaders, recalling their September discussion about the future of the war in Ukraine and strategies to counter Russian aggression.

"I recall our great meeting with President Trump back in September when we discussed in detail the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and ways to put an end to Russian aggression against Ukraine," Zelensky wrote.

Zelensky expressed appreciation for Trump’s calls for diplomacy between Russia and Ukraine, which he believes could help bring an end to the war.

"I appreciate President Trump's commitment to the 'peace through strength' approach in global affairs. This is exactly the principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer," he said. "I am hopeful that we will put it into action together."
