In brief
In a recent interview, Donald Trump claimed Ukraine needs a new president, criticising President Zelensky's decision to strike Russian oil refineries and a diesel deal with Moscow. The former US executive said the move undermined national security and the best interests of Ukraine and the West. Trump’s remarks come as US‑Ukraine relations deepen, sparking debate over support for the war‑time government. Analysts suggest the comments reflect internal US politics more than a direct policy shift. The conversation underscores how ex‑presidential figures continue to shape international discourse.
