Amusing, Lukashenko, of all people, calls Trump out:
"‘Not Trump’s Decision’: Lukashenko Says Ukrainians Must Choose Their President",
seemingly implying that he is more democratic than Trump...

Lukashenko Rejects Trump’s Call to Replace Zelensky: ‘Ukrainians Will Decide’

Belarusian leader rejected Trump’s attempt to dictate Ukraine’s leadership but also argued that Zelensky should face an election.

#Zelensky on #Trump camp moves to support #Russia

"Unfortunately, the lifting of sanctions will continue, and I believe that the diesel deal is the first step. Unfortunately, it seems to me that this cannot stop #Putin; on the contrary, he feels joy and happiness that he has such support"

Zelensky smiled when asked by Sky News whether Trump was trying to make him a “scapegoat” for problems including low ratings, high diesel prices and the war in the Middle East. Zelenskyy initially stayed silent, then said: “That is my answer.” #Ukraine
