Peskov says Trump wants a new Ukrainian president; Kallas rejects idea of wartime elections
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said US President Donald Trump told him Ukraine needs a new president because Volodymyr Zelensky is not showing the political will to end the war. Speaking before an EU meeting in Luxembourg on 12 October, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas countered that elections in Ukraine cannot take place while the war continues and that international pressure should focus on Russia.
