Ukraine war: After Trump attack: Ukrainian government supports Zelenskyy
Trump calls for the replacement of Zelensky. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister rejects the request. Meanwhile, Russia continues to bombard Ukraine unabated.
The Ukrainian government has rejected US President Donald Trump's call for a new president, with Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha stating that President Selenskyj has the support of the Ukrainian people and that they have the right to decide their own leadership. Trump had claimed that Selenskyj had opportunities to end the Ukraine war but chose not to, and suggested that the Ukrainians should find a new leader who could negotiate a peace agreement.
The war began when Russia invaded Ukraine over four and a half years ago, and Kremlin leader Wladimir Putin has rejected multiple offers for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Russia has continued to attack Ukraine, with Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko reporting eight injuries, including a 15-year-old, in a recent attack.
