The Aporia · Watch: 'Time for Ukraine to get a new president', says Trump

President Donald Trump stated that it is time for Ukraine to acquire a new leader during remarks to the press. This came after criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over military actions against Russian oil facilities, and in light of Trump's announcement of a deal with Russia to import Russian diesel fuel, which Zelensky called "a gift" to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Story summary

Donald Trump criticized Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, calling for him to be replaced amid tensions over Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries and rising diesel prices. Trump accused Zelensky of rejecting multiple opportunities to end the war with Russia and blamed him for contributing to global fuel shortages. The criticism came a day after Trump announced a deal to import Russian diesel despite years of sanctions against Moscow, which Zelensky described as "a gift" to Vladimir Putin. European allies expressed dismay at the deal, maintaining their commitment to sanctions on Russia. Trump's comments mark a low point in relations with Ukraine since a contentious Oval Office meeting early in his second term.
