UKRAINE NEEDS A NEW PRESIDENT — TRUMP
US President Donald Trump has said Ukraine needs a new president, renewing his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky amid the ongoing war with Russia.
Trump’s remarks add to tensions surrounding Washington’s approach to the conflict, which began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The US president has repeatedly questioned Zelensky’s leadership and called for an end to the war, while discussions continue over possible negotiations and the future of US support for Kyiv.
Zelensky, whose leadership has been shaped by the wartime situation, has maintained that Ukraine must defend its sovereignty and secure lasting guarantees for its security.
Trump’s latest comments are likely to fuel further debate over Ukraine’s political leadership, the conduct of the war and the role of the United States in efforts to end the conflict.
