> US President Donald Trump said he thinks Ukraine should get a new president, responding to Volodymyr Zelensky’s criticism of a US deal involving Russian diesel. Zelensky warned that a new agreement allowing millions of tonnes of Russian diesel into the US would give Moscow money to continue its war, calling it a gift to Vladimir Putin.
