Ukraine: Nach Trump-Attacke zur Ablösung von Selenskyj: Ukrainische Regierung stützt den eigenen Präsidenten
US-Präsident Trump hat einen neuen Präsidenten für die Ukraine gefordert. Wolodymyr Selenskyj habe vielfach die Gelegenheit gehabt, den Ukraine-Krieg zu beenden. Kiew verteidigt Selenskyj.
Kyiv - The Ukrainian government has rejected US President Donald Trump's call for a new president in Ukraine. External affairs minister Andrij Sybiha posted on X on Saturday night, stating that President Zelensky enjoyed the support of the Ukrainian people and had the right to decide for himself. "Foreign statements only confirm that he is fulfilling his duties well.
He deserves support," he added. Meanwhile, Russia launched a missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, also in the evening. Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram that there were already eight injuries, including a 15-year-old girl. Trump had demanded a new president for Ukraine on Saturday, claiming that Zelensky had had many opportunities to end the war in Ukraine but chose not to.
"I believe it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," he insisted. Ukrainians should seek a new leader who could negotiate an agreement to end the conflict, as Zelensky had never done "for some reason" despite many opportunities. Trump later added that he believed Zelensky should hold elections.
