  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has called for Ukraine to replace its leader, Volodymyr Zelensky. According to Trump, Zelensky has not done enough to end the war with Russia and has not made deals that Trump thinks he could have.\n\nThe disagreement between Trump and Zelensky comes after the US eased sanctions on Russian diesel exports. Zelensky criticised the move, saying it was a \"gift\" to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump defended the decision, saying it was needed to bring down fuel prices in the US ahead of the midterm elections.\n\nZelensky also accused Russia of launching deadly strikes on Ukraine as a response to the diesel deal. Ukrainian officials reported that 20 people, including three children, were killed in a barrage on the south-east of the country. Trump and Zelensky have a history of tense relations.",
