Ukraine-Krieg: Trump fordert Ablösung des ukrainischen Präsidenten
Im Streit um den Ukraine-Krieg und Angriffe auf den russischen Energiesektor wettert US-Präsident Trump gegen den ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj - und fordert dessen Abgang.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been urged by US President Donald Trump to be replaced, claiming the Ukrainian leader has repeatedly missed his chance to end the war in the country. Trump stated in Washington that it was time for Ukraine to have a new president who could negotiate an agreement to bring an end to the conflict.
He argued that Zelenskyy had never done this "for whatever reason." However, the war was not initiated by Ukraine, but by Russia, which had invaded the neighboring nation nearly four years ago. Russian leader Vladimir Putin had repeatedly rejected offers for an unconditional ceasefire. Subsequent diplomatic initiatives also failed.
Trump also accused Zelenskyy of contributing to a diesel fuel shortage by attacking Russia's energy sector, stating that the Russian leader was depriving Ukrainian farmers and cattle ranchers of diesel fuel, as Russia supplies a significant portion of global diesel fuel. In fact, prices for crude oil and diesel had skyrocketed following the Iran War, which the US and Israel had initiated in February of the previous year.
