Details: Zelenskyy added that he believes Trump wants to bring the parties to the negotiating table and achieve a stop to hostilities.

Quote: "I think President Trump wants us at the negotiating table and we support this track. I think he very much wants a ceasefire and an end to the war. I believe that was his goal from the very beginning."

More details: The Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be announced on 10 October. Trump frequently highlights in his speeches that he has successfully ended several wars around the world.

Background: In September, members of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) registered a motion urging the Nobel Committee to consider nominating US President Donald John Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
