Zelenskyy has backing of Ukrainians: Kyiv hits back after Trump calls for new leader

After US President Trump said, "Ukraine needed a new leader", Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha responded that “Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the backing of the Ukrainian people.” Trump’s remarks came after Zelenskyy criticised a US deal to buy Russian diesel, warning that releasing millions of tonnes of Russian diesel into the US would provide Moscow with funds to continue the war.
