‘It’s Up To Our People To Pick Another Leader,’ Ukraine's Zelensky Tells Trump
Zelensky said elections could follow a 60-day ceasefire, as he rejected Trump’s push for a new Ukrainian leader.
- On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated Ukraine could hold elections if Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to a 60-day total ceasefire, countering President Donald Trump's recent calls for new leadership.
- Trump said on Saturday that "it's time for Ukraine to get a new president," though Zelenskiy noted Ukraine's constitution prohibits elections under martial law.
- "Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organise elections," Zelenskiy told ABC's "This Week."
- Zelenskiy linked the recent lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel to a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia that killed 20 people, including three children.
- As Russia has not publicly responded to his ceasefire offer, Zelenskiy told ABC News that "it's up to Ukrainians" to determine their own leadership.
