Ukraine rejects Trump's call for new leadership | DW News

Donald Trump says Ukraine needs a new president. Volodymyr Zelenskyy disagrees. Ukraine's leader has hit back, insisting Russia alone is responsible for the war and rejecting calls to stop targeting Russian oil facilities while Moscow continues attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The deepening rift is raising new questions about U.S. support for Kyiv. Former U.S. Ambassador Daniel Fried argues that Trump is "lashing out in frustration" and warns that the dispute risks encouraging Vladimir Putin to continue the war.
