Commenting on Donald Trump's intentions to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with the American channel CBN, said that Ukrainian believers have high hopes for the new U.S. president.

"Ukraine is a deeply religious country," Zelensky said, emphasizing that it is home to the largest Protestant community in Europe as well as "the largest Council of Churches."

"We have people of different faiths, different religions, but it's a very religious country," Zelensky assured the CBN journalist. Therefore, Ukrainians hope that Trump, who, according to Zelensky, has "the stance of a strong president," will be able to achieve peace in Ukraine.

"And that is why there is such hope in the new U.S. administration, in the new president. People believe in what he says," Volodymyr Zelensky said earnestly.

It is worth noting that Volodymyr Zelensky previously stated that Russian forces tortured and killed Ukrainian priests for refusing to serve under Patriarch Kirill.
