Trump calls for Zelensky’s replacement

US President Donald Trump has called for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky amid a dispute over Russian diesel exports. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly agreed to ease sanctions on Russian diesel to help curb rising fuel prices. Zelensky has condemned the move, warning that easing pressure on Moscow could encourage further attacks on Ukraine. His criticism followed a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia on Saturday that reportedly killed 20 people, including three children. Trump has also called on Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries.
