japantimes.co.jp —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of pressuring Kyiv to capitulate to Russia, escalating a weeklong dispute with the U.S. president ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Zelenskyy warned of "dangerous days ahead of the elections," suggesting Trump's demands could lead to disconnection from U.S. support if Kyiv refused to comply.
