President Donald Trump has signaled his loss of patience with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, suggesting that it is time for Ukraine to have a new president.
What happened
Trump expressed his frustration with Zelenskyy's inability to make a deal with Russia, stating that Ukraine has lost 30% of its country and over a million people have been killed in the war. He claimed that if he were president, the war would not have started.
Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's decision to target Russian oil storage infrastructure, which he believes will lead to problems for the world, including a shortage of diesel fuel. He mentioned that he had secured a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply millions of barrels of diesel to global markets.
Zelenskyy responded to Trump's comments, criticizing his decision to allow Russia to sell oil products, which he believes will only fuel Russia's war efforts. Zelenskyy called for strong signals from the US, Europe, and other partners to support Ukraine and restrict Russia's ability to wage war.
