Trump Calls for Ukraine to Replace Zelensky With a Leader Who Can Negotiate a Peace Deal
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Trump publicly called for Ukraine to appoint a new president, arguing the country needs new leadership capable of reaching a deal to end the war with Russia. Trump made the remarks on October 10, 2026, stating directly that it was "time for Ukraine to get a new president" and suggesting the incoming leader could be someone positioned to negotiate a settlement.
The remarks came amid an already deteriorating relationship between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to a U.S. official, Trump had separately moved to lift sanctions on Russia and allow it to export diesel fuel after Zelensky repeatedly ignored American requests to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. Zelensky publicly called that agreement unfair, describing it as a "birthday present for Putin."
Trump also addressed a recent Saudi attack during the same remarks, saying his administration would "make a decision" on a response. The combination of calling for Zelensky's removal and softening toward Moscow marks a significant escalation in U.S. pressure on Kyiv to accept terms for ending the conflict.
