(Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could be decisive in the outcome of the 34-month-old war with Russia and help stop Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

“Trump can be decisive. For us, this is the most important thing,” Zelenskiy said in an interview with Ukrainian television.

“His qualities are indeed there,” Zelenskiy said of Trump. “He can be decisive in this war. He is capable of stopping Putin or, to put it more fairly, help us stop Putin. He is able to do this.”
