Trump Calls for New Ukraine Negotiator as Zelensky Accuses US of Delaying Missiles

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused the United States of delaying the delivery of interceptor missiles, while Donald Trump suggested Ukraine replace Zelensky as a negotiator to end the war with Russia. Both leaders expressed concerns over military aid and intelligence sharing, escalating tensions between Kyiv and Washington.

Donald Trump claimed that Russia has been 'fine' with Ukraine and that they 'haven’t been doing much,' while suggesting that someone other than Zelensky should negotiate on Ukraine's behalf. Trump had previously called for Ukraine to replace its president, a claim one article attributed to him while another omitted it. Zelensky accused the Pentagon of delaying the delivery of missiles already paid for by European countries, and stated that Kyiv had no early warning of powerful Russian missile strikes. One article mentioned Zelensky’s claim about early warning, while another did not include it.
