The politician demanded the immediate cessation of financial and military support for Ukraine from France and the country's withdrawal from the EU and NATO.

MOSCOW, October 12 – RIA Novosti. The removal of Vladimir Zelensky from power could be a chance for peace for Kyiv, said the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, on the social network X.

“The agreement between (the presidents of the United States and Russia. - Ed.) Trump and Putin is a chance for peace. Just like the removal of the bloody puppet of the Euro-oligarchy, Zelensky, from affairs,” he wrote.

The politician, on behalf of his party, demanded the immediate cessation of any financial and military support for Ukraine from France.

“And also setting a course to leave the EU and NATO, so that France, freed from the “hawks,” can finally freely defend its national interests and choose peace!” - added Filippo.

US President Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday that Vladimir Zelensky could have resolved the Ukrainian conflict many times, but did not. Therefore, according to him, Ukraine needs a new leader who can come to an agreement with Russia. He later called for elections in Ukraine.

On Friday, a meeting between the Americans and the Ukrainian side took place in Miami, which, according to media reports, ended ahead of schedule. The reason for this, as noted, was the deal on Russian diesel fuel, which the head of the White House announced after telephone conversations with Vladimir Putin.
