We want to end war in Ukraine so that it does not restart in two to four years – US secretary of state

Any phone call with Putin was not discussed with me but he said we'll talk and we'll work something out,

he said in reply to a question

Our teams have been in the process of organising the meeting with President Trump. Discussions so far have been very atmospheric, these have been very general meetings. So far we don't have a date,

Zelenskyy told a select media grouping here during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting

If leaders are not talking and intelligence services are talking, that would not work for us,

he said while insisting that Russian President Vladimir Putin must come to the table

I'm not sure he has a vision yet of exit from the war... It's important to bring Putin to the table,

he said

At the same time, it needs to be made clear that we are not equal. We are the victim and Putin is the occupier. We didn't start the war, he did. But we want to finish the war and Trump said he also wants to end the war. But Putin doesn't want to end the war because he has not got what he wanted,

he said

I think Trump is going to call Putin and tell him to end the war. I think Putin will not agree … and I think the Trump team will understand they have to show strength. Show more resolve. And put it all on the table,

Volker said

Not taxpayer money, but there are various ways to do this, including a lend-lease program, including by Europe seizing the €300 billion in Russian assets and using that money to buy U.S. defense equipment,

Volker said

I think President Zelenskyy has played it extremely well,

said Volker

Trump, he told me … he will be doing everything to end the war this year. And I told him, ‘we are your partner,'

Zelenskyy said

Trump is a businessman. He knows how to apply pressure,

Zelenskyy told a gathering of reporters Tuesday after delivering a fiery address to the Davos crowd,

Ukrainians don’t know what Trump’s gonna do. But they do know what Biden did.”

Ukraine Freedom Project founder Steven Moore, who spent seven years on Capitol Hill, mostly as chief of staff for former Chief Deputy GOP Whip Peter Roskam, said

What we need now is certainty,

said Maksym Timchenko, the chief executive of DTEK, the top private investor in Ukraine’s energy industry

It might not be good — but it will be much better than under Biden,

said Mylovanov, a former Ukrainian minister, referring to his country’s fate under Trump

It’s going to be the official policy of the United States that the war has to end and we’re going to do everything possible to bring that about,

he said

I think Trump doesn’t want him. He didn’t invite Zelenskyy to the inauguration,

Anna Fedorivna, an English-speaking graduate, said

I watched the inauguration on TV. Trump impressed me. We need to stop the war,

Mykola, a retired physicist, said

We have to reach an agreement. It doesn’t matter how,

Mykola said

I don’t think Putin will stop until he has destroyed Ukraine. He’s a fool,

Petro Hryhorovych, a pensioner, said, adding

I think a deal is unrealistic. Trump is blah blah blah,

Valeriia, a 23-year-old shop worker, said

The peace through strength policy he announced provides an opportunity to strengthen American leadership and achieve a long-term and just peace,
