Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has extended his congratulations to Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, expressing hope for a strengthened strategic partnership aimed at ending Russian aggression against Ukraine.
In a statement posted on his X account Wednesday morning, Zelenskyy praised Trump’s “peace through strength” stance, which he believes could help achieve a “just peace” for Ukraine.
“Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his impressive election victory!” Zelenskyy wrote, referencing a September meeting where they discussed the U.S.-Ukraine strategic partnership, the Victory Plan, and strategies to counter Russian aggression.
Zelenskyy voiced optimism that Trump’s leadership would garner bipartisan support for Ukraine and promote peace in Europe.
“Ukraine, as one of Europe’s strongest military powers, is committed to ensuring long-term peace and security in Europe and the Transatlantic community with the support of our allies,” he added.
Trump’s return to office has drawn global attention, with Ukraine hopeful that renewed U.S. support will bolster its defenses and contribute to regional stability.
