Trump says time's up for Zelenskyy, seeks new Prez

Former President Donald Trump has called for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, accusing him of failing to end the conflict with Russia and blaming him for high diesel prices in the United States. Trump suggested that Zelenskyy should find a new leader who could negotiate better terms, as Zelenskyy had not made any deals.

The president also blamed Ukraine for the current state of affairs, stating that the war was started due to incompetence and that it should have never happened. This call for a new Ukrainian president came after Russia recently killed at least 20 people in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, including three children. Zelenskyy responded by expressing gratitude for the lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel exports, stating that the additional revenue will help fund weapons, drone upgrades, missile production, and the recruitment of mercenaries. He also urged the US, Europe, and other partners to limit Russia's ability to wage war.
