Ukraine’s Zelensky congratulates Trump on victory after president-elect vows to ‘stop wars’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Donald Trump on his election win Wednesday — after the former president vowed to “stop wars” in his victory speech.

“Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory!” Zelensky wrote on X. “We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership.”

The Ukrainian lead said he spoke with Trump, 78, back in September to outline his “Victory Plan” in the war against Russia, hoping that Trump’s “peace through strength” policy will help end Moscow’s aggression.
