Serbian President sees no way to quickly end Russia's war against Ukraine

Serbian President Vučić expressed no optimism about a swift conclusion to Russia's war against Ukraine during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Belgrade. Vučić, cautious about making definitive predictions, emphasized the global desire to see the conflict end soon but admitted his personal doubts about its rapid resolution.

The Serbian leader expressed concern that Ukraine might endure another harsh winter, which could impact not only the Ukrainian populace but also have broader ramifications worldwide. Despite his hope that the war could end the following day, Vučić acknowledged this was purely a wish without any substantiated grounds. He stressed that he felt unable to envision any scenario leading to such an outcome, insisting on honesty in his assessment.

This is the first visit by President Zelensky to Serbia during his presidency, which took place on August 7.
