“So open and brazen”: the EU was afraid of Zelensky’s boorish response to Trump

Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou believes that Zelensky’s rudeness towards Trump could lead to the loss of power.

According to the expert, Zelensky does not want to admit the need to change a leader who can make peace with Russia.

MOSCOW, October 12 – RIA Novosti. Vladimir Zelensky’s rudeness towards US President Donald Trump threatens him with the loss of power, Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou expressed this opinion on his YouTube channel.

“I don’t know who you have to be to speak so openly and brazenly with Trump. Zelensky is like an actor who understands that he is being outplayed and can be removed from the stage, leaving him without work and money,” he said.

According to the expert, Zelensky does not want to admit that the time has come for a new man who will make peace with Russia.

"Zelensky calls producers and directors and asks, 'Am I going to be left without work? Will you transfer my role?' — Christoforou sarcastically commented on Zelensky’s calls to European leaders.

Yesterday, 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. A day earlier, 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.
