Reuters reporting comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the election of Donald Trump and the implications for the war in Ukraine.

  • Putin says he is, "not sure what [Trump] will do now.” Adds that Trump’s “desire to restore relations with Russia, facilitate end of Ukrainian crisis deserves attention.”
  • Putin says Russia is “ready to speak to Trump,” and says he doesn’t think it’s, “wrong to hold call with Trump,” adding “if some world's leaders seek to restore contacts, I’m not against it.”
  • A short time ago, Zelenskyy said: “…rhetoric about ceasefire in Ukraine without security guarantees being in place for Ukraine is very dangerous."  Says he “believe[s] Trump wants quick end to war, this does not mean it will happen necessarily,” and says he's “not aware of any details of plan to end war fast, did not discuss it with Trump.”
  • The Biden administration is expected to use the lame-duck period of Biden's presidency to fast-track all remaining allocated funds to Ukraine. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters moments ago that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, "intends to use remaining time in office to make progress on issues including ensuring Ukraine is in the best position possible for success." 
  • Ukraine aid from Europe may also be at risk, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban telling reporters today in Budapest that roughly USD$55 billion of agreed EU aid is now an "open question" following Trump's election victory.
  • Bloomberg notes that, "[Orban] said EU nations, following Trump’s victory this week, are also moving in a direction that seeks to more clearly define their commitment and goals in Ukraine."
