President Trump Says "Time For Ukraine To Get A New Leader" After Zelensky Ignored Six Pleas To Stop Refinery Strikes
[ZERO] Update (1200ET): As he was boarding Air Force One on the way to Tennessee this morning, President Trump made his feelings clear over how he feels about Ukrainian President Zelensky.

President Trump stated that "it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president", criticizing Zelensky for bombing Russian oil refineries and accusing him of failing to end the war.

"I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal."

One day after announcing plans to buy more than a million tonnes of diesel from Russia, Trump said the Ukrainian strikes were driving up global fuel prices and creating "problems for the world".

"He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world. And we told them ’Do whatever you want, but don’t hit the diesel fuel, because this is a big problem, a big shortage’."

"And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel."

Asked about the strikes, he said of Zelensky:

"He’d better damn well stop." # id) ?>

One thing noted from this 4+ year ongoing Russia vs Ukraine Tit for Tat conflict.
Russia ain't the super power, it use to be.

But neither is the US with its Million of homeless Vets, 42.1 million people on SNAP and outside armed threats attacking us regularly. So we have own internal problems, like Illegals stealing $$ Billions and padding political pockets, NGO's funding wars using US Funds, DC Swampers not being held to the same legal standards as voters and a growing $40+ Trillion in debt.

So why is the U.S.A. still sending $$Billions on top of the already $182+ billion sent to Ukraine?
Ukraine does not seem to want agree to any peace deal.

Nor has it expressed any thankfulness to the USA other when it wants more $$$$?

$$$$ which already has been shown to be getting skimmed and pocketed by US / Ukraine Elite & political types.

BTW: Remember, the Russia invasion of Ukraine started back on February 24 2022.
Just after the O'BIDEN Coup seized power and took control of DC, the DOJ, DHS and other Fed enforcement groups.

2 It appears this is becoming less about the Ukraine and more about Zelensky. Being extremely motivated about his country is one thing, but his increasing arrogance isn't helpful to his country. When martial law is ended, what happens to Zelensky? Will he get re-elected?

3 Zelensky is an EU puppet. It’s almost like the globalists want the economic collapse of Europe. 1984 wasn’t supposed to be a prophecy.

4 1. Putin is a warmonger who started this whole thing to restore the Russian Empire (AKA Soviet Union).
2. Giving him any kind of of win will just encourage him and his ilk.
3. Ukraine is the victim here.
4. Zelensky is a corrupt putz.

Save both Russia and the Ukraine, off both of the miserable bastards.

5 The further we can stay away from the Ukie-RU conflict the better.
