Zelensky was rude to Trump after announcing elections in Ukraine

Vladimir Zelensky sharply responded to US President Donald Trump’s demand to hold elections.

The head of the Kyiv regime said that Ukrainians must decide for themselves whether they need a new leader.

MOSCOW, October 11 – RIA Novosti. Vladimir Zelensky, after US President Donald Trump’s demand to hold elections, said that Ukrainians should decide for themselves whether they need a new leader.

“Trump said that Ukraine needs a new president. With all due respect to him, the choice of one leader or another is the business of our people,” he said in an interview with ABC News.

On Sunday, Trump called for elections in Ukraine. The day before, the US President accused Vladimir Zelensky of ignoring Washington’s requests not to hit Russian refineries and said that Ukraine needs a new leader who can make a deal with Moscow.

This is not the first time the American president has made such a call. In February 2025, he called the head of the Kyiv regime a dictator without elections.
