> Trump said Zelenskyy had not done enough to end the war and called for Ukraine to choose a new leader able to make a deal. Ukraine’s foreign minister defended Zelenskyy, saying Ukrainians have the right to decide. The comments came amid Kyiv’s anger over a US-Russia diesel deal; Russian strikes in Zaporizhzhia region killed at least 20 people that day, Ukrainian officials said.
