As European fears escalate about the consequences of Donald Trump's return to power and the possibility of him making concessions to Russia or reducing military aid to Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned against making any compromises with Russian President Vladimir Putin, describing it as "suicide" for Europe.

Zelenskyy stated in a speech to European leaders gathered in Budapest Thursday: "Some attendees suggested that Kyiv make concessions to Putin, but this is unthinkable and unacceptable."

Regarding U.S.-European relations, he continued emphasizing the need to strengthen them after Trump's victory, according to Agence France-Presse. He expressed his aspirations for a stronger America, considering that it serves Europe's interests as well, adding "A strong America is what Europe needs, just as a strong Europe is what America needs."

The Ukrainian President added that North Korea is now waging war on Europe's doorstep, alluding to thousands of its soldiers flowing into Russia to participate in fighting on Ukrainian territory. He continued saying that "North Korean soldiers are trying to kill the Ukrainian people on European soil."

The Republican candidate had repeatedly committed during his campaign to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, while his deputy James David Vance indicated in September the existence of a "peace plan" if he assumes power.

He extensively praised Putin's intelligence and wisdom, confirming their strong relationship, and strongly criticized the current U.S. administration's generosity in financially supporting Kyiv, which aroused fears from Ukraine and its European allies.
