Cairo: Hani Kamal El-Din
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated former US President Donald Trump on his victory in the US presidential election. In a message posted on his social media page on X (formerly Twitter), Zelensky expressed his appreciation for Trump’s commitment to the “peace through strength” approach on global matters, a principle he believes will bring a just peace closer to Ukraine. Zelensky hopes that this approach will be implemented in collaboration with Trump.
Zelensky also highlighted Ukraine’s ongoing reliance on bipartisan support from the United States, emphasizing that the country continues to count on this support in the future.
The US presidential election concluded recently, with the main contenders being former president Donald Trump, running as the Republican candidate, and current Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate. To win, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes. According to Fox News, Trump has already secured 277 electoral votes.
After securing the necessary number of electoral votes, Trump declared that a political victory had been achieved in the United States. In his speech following the election results, Trump referred to himself as the 47th President of the United States.
This development reflects the ongoing political momentum in the US between the two major parties on global issues, with President Zelensky continuing his efforts to ensure international support for Ukraine in the face of significant challenges.
