US President Donald Trump demanded the resignation of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which, according to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, lowered the level of Ukrainian-American relations to a low point comparable to February 2025. Trump also said that Ukraine needs to find a new leader and that the Kiev regime should not attack oil refineries in Russia.

On Saturday, the Houthis attacked Riyadh airport, hitting one of the departure halls, killing and injuring travelers and airport staff. A representative of the Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia called the attack a war crime and promised a response.

First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin said that US President Donald Trump’s call to replace Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky reflects the long-standing concerns of Ukrainian society, which were previously discussed in “kitchen” discussions.

US President Donald Trump said that it was time for Ukraine to elect a new president, demanded that Kyiv not strike Russian oil refineries and accused Vladimir Zelensky of wanting to create problems for the whole world, despite the opportunity to resolve the conflict with Moscow.

The attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and injured 309 others. The strike hit terminals 3 and 4, and a projectile was also recorded falling in the area of Dammam airport. The attack comes as fighting resumes between the Houthis and the Saudi coalition after a four-year hiatus.

A tanker in the Strait of Hormuz was hit by an unknown projectile on its port side, causing a fire on board, UKMTO said. The incident occurred on October 11.
