LONDON: Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated his offer to resign in exchange for NATO membership for his war-torn nation, but he also told British media on Sunday that it would be difficult to succeed him as president of Ukraine. After US President Donald Trump abruptly turned against him at a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday regarding the war with Russia, US Republicans had hinted that he could need to step down.
“It won’t be easy to replace me if they do,” Zelensky told British media, “considering what is happening and the support.” “Merely holding an election is insufficient. You must also prevent me from running. This is going to be a little more challenging. It appears that we will need to compromise,” he continued. And I mentioned that I’m trading for NATO. Then I accomplished my goal.
Zelensky left the White House without signing the expected preliminary agreement on sharing Ukrainian mineral rights as a result of the historic public spat at the Oval Office. Republican officials spoke on news programs on Sunday, raising doubts about whether a deal with Russia could be made as long as Zelensky is still in power, while European leaders united behind Ukraine. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz told CNN, “We need a leader who can deal with us, eventually deal with the Russians, and end this war.”
