'Time for Ukraine to get new president,' says Trump after Zelensky condemns diesel deal
Ukraine's leader had said the deal with Russia to release diesel into the US would help Moscow fund the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized the US diesel deal with Russia, saying it provides Moscow with funds to continue its war in Ukraine. President Donald Trump responded by stating that it is time for Ukraine to have a new leader who can make better deals. The two countries have been engaged in intense strikes, targeting energy and logistics infrastructure.
After reaching a deal to suspend sanctions on Russian diesel exports until April 7, Zelensky accused Moscow of using the deal as a way to keep fighting and dropping bombs on cities. The EU's foreign affairs chief echoed Zelensky's concerns, stating that the suspension of sanctions provides Russia with more revenue to wage war.
