Zelensky said he spoke with Trump after his victory, during a phone call in which the pair agreed to “maintain a close dialogue and develop our cooperation.” He also proclaimed Trump’s “commitment to a ‘peace through strength’ approach to global affairs.”
The White House is reportedly planning to commit billions of dollars in security aid to Ukraine before President Joe Biden leaves office as concerns remain over Trump’s commitment to Kyiv after he previously criticized the scale of US military and financial support.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Trump’s victory was likely bad news for Ukraine, but said it was unclear how far he could cut U.S. funding for the war.

Prominent Russian nationalist and former militia commander Igor Girkin, who blamed Putin and the army for failures in the war in Ukraine, has lost his Supreme Court appeal against a four-year prison sentence for inciting extremism.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Moscow was ready to continue supplying gas to Europe through Ukraine when the current transit agreement expires at the end of the year, but that this would have to be agreed upon by Kiev and the European countries involved.
