Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through "diplomatic means" as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.

In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end "sooner" than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president.

The prospect of Trump returning to power in the United States next year has raised questions about the future of the conflict, as the Republican has been critical of U.S. military aid to Kyiv.

Zelenskyy said that Ukraine "must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means."

It turns out actually making things is an important part of the economy and i don't think their increasing manufacturing capacity is going anywhere. And if the sanctions end it's even easier to keep making oil money

The Russian ruling class would need to disabuse themselves of neoliberal dogmas

in that case: i wonder how much "soviet union" is still lives in russia and whether or not there's enough to keep the economic progress from vanishing.
