“He Deserves Support.” Sibiga Responds to Trump’s Statement About Zelensky

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sibiga 10 in October reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that Ukraine is “the time to get a new president.” The Ukrainian diplomat voiced his position on the social network X.

Sibiga emphasized that Zelensky leads Ukraine in times of war for independence, freedom, and dignity.

“He has the support of the Ukrainian people, and they have the right to decide. Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing his job well. He deserves support,” the head of the Foreign Ministry underscored.

Trump accused Zelensky of allegedly unwillingness to conclude a peace agreement, despite the fact that he has repeatedly stated readiness for a peace that does not entail Ukraine’s capitulation. The White House chief criticized the head of the Ukrainian state after talks with the illegitimate president of the country-aggressor Russia, Vladimir Putin, and an agreement on supplying Russian diesel to the U.S. and the global market.

The Kremlin has already reacted to Trump’s statement about changing Zelensky. Putin’s negotiator, Kirill Dmitriev, called it “significant and historic.”
