Trump calls Zelenskyy 'not easy to deal with' as US pushes for new Ukraine leadership
US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are in open conflict, with Trump calling Zelenskyy "not an easy person to deal with" and accusing him of not wanting peace. Zelenskyy rejected Trump's demand to halt attacks on Russian oil facilities, calling it a "shameful decision." Trump suggested Ukraine needs new leadership, implying regime change, after Zelenskyy refused to stop strikes that Trump says raise global fuel prices. The dispute follows Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire that Russia continued to violate. The US has restricted intelligence sharing and limited Starlink military access for Ukraine, with officials confirming the White House ordered the restrictions.
