Higher officials of the Trump government and Congress president claim that Zelenski may have to leave the president
Supreme officials of the US government of Donald Trump, along with the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, said today that the US is needed a Ukrainian president who is willing to secure a constant peace with Russia, saying that it is not clear that it is not clear.
A few hours after Zelenski’s fierce conflict with Trump and Vice President Jay Di Vance at the Oval Office, White House National Security Advisor Michael Walts stressed that Washington wants to secure a permanent peace between Moscow.
Asked by CNN’s “State of the Union” show, if Trump wants Zelenski to resign as president of Ukraine, the National Security Adviser replied: “We need a leader with whom we can negotiate and negotiate.”
“If it is clear that President Zelenski’s personal or political motives are different from the end of the battles in his country, then I think we have a real problem,” he added.
At the same time, he denied any concept of “ambush” set up against the Ukrainian president in Friday’s incident at the Oval Office and reiterated that the end of the war would demand “territorial concessions” from Ukraine.
For his part, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson suggested that a different leader may be essential for Ukraine if Zelensky does not comply with the US demands.
“Something has to change. Whether he has to recover and return to the table showing gratitude, or someone else has to lead the country to do so, “the Republican Speaker of the House said in the NBC’s” Meet the Press “show.
As a result of the intense confrontation on Friday at the Oval Office, an agreement between Kiev and Washington on US access to Ukrainian minerals was not signed and negotiations on the deal were frozen.
“It was not clear to us that President Zelenski was ready to negotiate in good faith for the end of this war,” Walts said.
In ABC’s “This Week” show, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said he has not spoken to Zelenski on Friday. He added that he had not spoken to his Ukrainian counterpart, Antriy Sibicha after Friday’s events.
“We will be ready for new contacts when they are ready to make peace,” the US Foreign Minister said.
Immediately after the White House quarrel, Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said: “Zelenski either has to radically change his attitude or leave.”
Democratic Senator Amy Klobutsar told “This Week” “overwhelmed” by the collision in the Oval Office, stressing that she met Zelenski before going to the White House on Friday and that he was excited to sign the deal.
“There is still another opening here,” for a peace deal, he said.
