Former Russian President Calls on Trump to ‘Remove’ Zelensky
Dmitry Medvedev posted a call to US President Donald Trump to use the CIA and the military to “get rid of” Volodymyr Zelensky on MaxMessenger on Sunday. His post justified his demands with a mix of unjustified grievances and accusations against Ukraine’s president.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made allegations on the Russian state-sponsored social media platform MaxMessenger against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The comments included a call for US President Donald Trump to remove Zelensky, suggesting that American history offers a solution to the situation.
Medvedev claimed that Zelensky regularly insults US President by ignoring his calls and turning Americans and Europeans against him. He further accused Zelensky of embezzling US aid and of attempting to provoke a nuclear conflict between Russia, the US and NATO. Medvedev has previously called for Zelensky's "physical elimination" or a repeat of the "Venezuelan scenario," and suggested that Zelensky should be given rat poison or cocaine.
These comments echo Trump's recent call for Ukraine to elect a new president who can make a deal to end the war, suggesting that the war in Ukraine needs a diplomatic solution, rather than Medvedev's more extreme proposal.
