Zelensky Ties Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks to U.S. Election Outcome

The Ukrainian president believes the U.S. election results will significantly influence negotiations and military aid, impacting the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the potential for peace talks with Russia hinges on the results of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Zelensky expressed concerns that a victory for Donald Trump could lead to a reduction in military aid from the U.S., which has been crucial since the invasion began in 2022.
The Ukrainian president remains hopeful that post-election, the U.S. might support Ukraine's invitation to join NATO, despite current hesitations.
Recent Russian drone attacks in Ukraine have resulted in civilian casualties, highlighting the ongoing violence and need for international support.
Ukraine's population has decreased by over 8 million since the war's onset, exacerbated by migration and a declining birth rate.
