Russia’s war in Ukraine, which will reach its 1,000th day next week, must be brought to an end in 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in an interview aired on Saturday.

“We, from our side, must do everything so that next year, this war ends by diplomatic means. This is very important,” Zelenskiy told “Suspilne” radio.
