Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy congratulated Donald Trump on his impressive electoral victory this week and said he hopes the two leaders will work together to secure a just peace in Ukraine. The message underscored Kyiv’s desire for stable, constructive international partnerships and a clear path to end the war while honoring Ukraine’s sovereignty and dignity on the world stage. Zelenskiy also emphasized that sustained cooperation with Washington and allied capitals remains vital as Kyiv faces ongoing challenges and seeks practical support for security and reconstruction.
“Zelenskiy praised Trump’s commitment to the principle of ‘peace through strength’ in international affairs, saying that this approach could practically bring Ukraine closer to a fair peace. He added that clear deterrence, paired with principled diplomacy alongside allies, can create space for meaningful negotiations and credible security guarantees that Ukraine needs to move toward a peaceful settlement.”
“He added that he hopes to put these commitments into action together, translating words into concrete steps through regular contact, joint assessments of security needs, and coordinated diplomatic initiatives. In a message posted on X, the Ukrainian leader highlighted the urgency of turning dialogue into tangible support and emphasized that sustained collaboration could produce real improvements for Ukraine’s security, resilience, and people on the ground.”
El líder ucraniano recalled “la gran conversación” que mantuvo con Trump en Nueva York en septiembre, cuando ambos hablaron por primera vez en persona desde el comienzo de la guerra rusa sobre las relaciones bilaterales, el llamado Plan de la Victoria de Zelenski y las posibles formas de poner fin a la guerra.
“The conversation in New York underscored a shared view that the path to peace must be built on clear commitments and a respect for sovereignty,” Zelenskiy continued. “The discussion touched on bilateral ties, the Victory Plan, and practical ways to end the conflict while strengthening the rules-based order that protects international law.”
Zelenskiy said también que espera que los resultados electorales traigan consigo “una era de un Estados Unidos fuerte bajo la determinación del liderazgo de Trump”.

He also expressed that he expects the election results to usher in an era of a strong United States under Trump’s leadership, a development that Kyiv views as a signal of renewed Western unity and a clearer framework for coordinated support in the weeks and months ahead.
“Contamos con la continuidad del apoyo de ambos partidos (el republicano y el demócrata) a Ucrania”, añadió.

He stressed that bipartisan backing would help sustain essential aid and steady diplomacy as Kyiv pursues reforms, defense cooperation, and economic resilience that benefit both the United States and Ukraine. Zelenskiy highlighted the importance of predictable, long term commitments from lawmakers in Washington to ensure continuity of support even as political dynamics shift.
El presidente ucraniano dijo también que su administración buscará “desarrollar una cooperación política y económica que beneficie tanto a EE.UU. como a Ucrania.
He outlined plans to deepen political and economic collaboration that would benefit both nations, calling for closer trade relations, energy cooperation, enhanced defense coordination, and programs that strengthen people to people ties. These efforts, he suggested, would lay the groundwork for a durable partnership that endures beyond current administrations.
“En tanto que una de las grandes potencias militares de Europa, Ucrania está comprometida con garantizar una paz y una seguridad duraderas en Europa y en la comunidad trasatlántica con el apoyo” de sus aliados, escribió Zelenski.
He reaffirmed that Ukraine, as a leading European military power, remains devoted to securing lasting peace and security across Europe and the broader transatlantic sphere with the steadfast support of its partners and friends. The commitment, he argued, depends on robust alliance networks and unwavering political will to sustain shared security goals.
El mandatario ucraniano cerró su mensaje expresando su deseo de felicitar “personalmente” a Trump.
