U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of failing to end the war with Russia and called for a new leader in Kyiv. During a press briefing at the White House, Trump claimed Zelenskyy had not done enough to stop the conflict, which he linked to rising diesel prices in the United States.
Trump stated that Zelenskyy should stop striking Russian diesel refineries and called for the Ukrainian leader to resign. He argued that Zelenskyy had multiple opportunities to end the war but chose not to act. The comments come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. And Ukraine over energy policies and military support.
This is not the first time Trump has criticized Zelenskyy. Earlier this week, he reiterated his stance that Ukraine needs a new president, citing Zelenskyy’s failure to secure a peace deal with Russia. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has expressed solidarity with Zelenskyy, emphasizing the challenges Ukraine faces in its war with Russia. The situation highlights the growing political pressure on Ukraine’s leadership as international support remains critical.
