Zelensky congratulated Trump on his inauguration as president.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated American President Donald Trump on his inauguration as the 47th president of the United States.

"I congratulate President Donald Trump and the American people on the inauguration! This is a day of change and hope for addressing many issues, including global challenges," – wrote he on social media platform X.

"President Trump is always decisive, and his proclaimed policy of peace through strength offers a chance to strengthen American leadership and achieve a reliable and just peace – this is the most important thing," – he emphasized.

Zelensky expressed hope that the direction of this century is being determined right now:

"We must all act together to ensure that this century is great and successful for democracies, rather than for those who wish us all failure. Wishing you success, President Trump! We look forward to active and mutually beneficial cooperation. Together we are stronger and can provide the world and our peoples with more security, stability, and economic growth," – wrote Zelensky.
