Ukraine aims to end the war by 2025, according to President Zelensky.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, expressed hope that the war will come to an end this year. He made this statement during a meeting with foreign leaders and media representatives.

Main Statements by Zelensky

• “We hope to conclude this war this year, not in three years. It is very difficult for the entire nation, but with all due respect to our soldiers and people — we must continue to fight,” the head of state emphasized.
• He mentioned that it is impossible to talk about the continuation of the war for another three years, while stressing the importance of security guarantees for Ukraine.
• Zelensky warned that Russia might attempt to attack again in 10 years if Ukraine is not prepared. However, this will not happen, “if we keep pressing them and putting them in their place — on their territory.”

The Role of the EU and NATO

The President emphasized that Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO in the coming years “will greatly help” prevent new aggressions from Russia.

“I believe they will not return if we have a strong army, powerful allies, and unity. Because Russia will never forgive the world for not being able to win. And you can see that they will not win,”
