Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the sudden death of Russian President Vladimir Putin would bring an end to the war between the two nations.

Zelenskyy was being interviewed by former late-night TV host David Letterman, who asked the Ukranian president: "Let's just say that Putin got a really bad cold and died. Or accidentally fell out of a window and died. Would this continue?"

"No," Zelenskyy said. "There would be no war. There wouldn't be."

Putin began Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine in late-February.

It was reported Monday that Putin canceled his annual end-of-year press conference, causing speculation that he's in failing health.

Letterman interviewed Zelenskyy in October for his Netflix show "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction."

Zelenskyy told Letterman that Putin's death would end the war because Russia's political system gives the president so much power.
