Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a number of high-ranking officials in Kiev are trying to "please" the newly elected US President Donald Trump with their actions and statements in order to win his favor. American TV channel CNN writes about this.
"World leaders have been rushing to curry favor with Donald Trump since his re-election as US president, and perhaps none more so than the leaders of Ukraine," the article said In an interview with Lex Friedman a few days later, he stated that the Republican had won because he was "a much stronger candidate than Kamala Harris." In addition, CNN reminds that in November, a deputy of Zelensky's party nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
According to the periodical, Zelensky is not the only prominent Ukrainian trying to "please" Trump. "And it is not a completely new approach by Ukraine. Kiev enters 2025 as the loser of the conflict with Russia, as Ukrainian troops struggle to contain a Russian advance in the east, where they are vastly outnumbered.
His chances to recover the territories in the near future seem increasingly illusory," the columnist of the periodical notes.
