Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office, pointed out that "Ukraine is not prepared to make territorial concessions in negotiations with Russia," in response to former US President Donald Trump's statement that he could end the conflict quickly. He noted that he has no idea how Kyiv's forces would continue to fight if US support were to stop. The former American president mentioned that he could resolve the conflict in Ukraine if he wins the elections, even before officially taking office. He added, "I will end this war, in which people are being killed unnecessarily and with great stupidity."
