Former US President Donald Trump urged Ukraine to cease attacks on Russia’s diesel refineries, stating they “better damn well stop.” He also publicly called for a change in leadership in Ukraine, suggesting President Volodymyr Zelensky should be replaced with someone willing to negotiate a peace deal with Vladimir Putin. Trump’s comments come amid ongoing debate regarding the best strategy for supporting Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion. He did not elaborate on who he believed would be a suitable replacement for Zelensky. The remarks signal a potential shift in US policy towards Ukraine should Trump win the upcoming presidential election. These statements are likely to further strain the relationship between the United States and Ukraine, as well as with Russia.
