The president of Ukraine wrote about this in the post on Х.

“I congratulate President Trump and the American people on the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States. Today is a day of change and also a day of hope for the resolution of many problems, including global challenges,” Zelenskyy said.

He described Trump as “decisive,” and his announced policy of “‘peace through strength’” offers an opportunity to strengthen American leadership and achieve a lasting and just peace, which is a priority.
