Trump says he no longer wants to deal with Zelensky, suggests peace deal could exclude Ukraine's current leader
In an interview with Newsmax on 15 October, US President Donald Trump said he does not want to deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him "not the person we should be dealing with" and claiming Zelensky is unwilling to negotiate with Russia. Trump said any eventual peace agreement would be reached without the current Ukrainian leader, renewed calls for elections in Ukraine, and criticised Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, while arguing Kyiv must make concessions given Russia's larger mobilisation base.
