Trump slams Zelenskyy, says Ukraine should elect new president
President Trump has criticized Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not making a deal with Russia to end the Ukraine war. He has also warned Kyiv against targeting Russian oil refineries.
US President Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that Ukraine should elect a new president, claiming current President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not done enough to end the conflict with Russia. At a White House press briefing, Trump stated, "I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal," adding, "for some reason (Zelenskyy) never does."
Zelenskyy has reportedly lost 30% of Ukraine's territory and over a million people have been displaced, with over 2 million killed in the war. Trump warned Kyiv against targeting Russian oil refineries, advising Zelenskyy to refrain from such actions. The US president told Zelenskyy to "do what you want" against Russia, but cautioned against hitting refineries.
