President-elect Trump could help end Russia's war in Ukraine if he leverages his "unpredictability," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a new interview. Why it matters: Trump vowed on the campaign trail to swiftly bring an end to the nearly three-year long war — a task he said he is uniquely qualified to accomplish because of his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is “strong and unpredictable,” and those qualities can be a decisive factor in his policy approach to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
