"Think It's Time For Ukraine To Get New President": Trump Rips Into Zelensky

US President Donald Trump suggested that it is time for Ukraine to get a new president, citing current leader Volodymyr Zelensky's inability to strike a deal to end the war with Russia."I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. For some reason (Zelenskyy) never does," Trump said while speaking at the White House on Saturday.According to Trump, the Russia-Ukraine war would not have started if he had been the US president in 2022."That war would have never started. There was no reason that that war with Ukraine and Russia started. It started due to incompetence. (Zelensky) lost 30% of your country and you've had over a million people go between the two of them, over 2 million people killed. That's a war that should have never started. And I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," Trump said.READ | America First, Hypocrisy Always: Trump's Double Standards On Russian OilTrump's comments came a day after Zelensky criticised the US-Russia diesel deal, terming it "unworthy of our partners" and a "weak decision".
