Trump tells Zelenskiy to find another negotiator to end war
· World · Reuters, NDTV
Donald Trump suggested Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy should bring in someone else to negotiate an end to the war, stating Zelenskiy is not in a strong position to make a deal. The former U.S. president made the remark during a public appearance, arguing that a different negotiator could reach a settlement. Trump has previously criticised Zelenskiy's handling of the conflict and suggested Kyiv could have avoided the war. The statement adds to ongoing political pressure on the Ukrainian leader as the war enters its third year.
Why it matters
The remark escalates diplomatic pressure on Zelenskiy as Western allies weigh how to sustain support for Ukraine while pursuing a potential ceasefire. It also signals shifting U.S. political dynamics ahead of the November presidential election.
