Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to comments by US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who called for his resignation, Ukrinform reported. The agency added that the head of state stated during an interview with the American television channel “Fox News“ that such decisions are made by the people of Ukraine, BTA reports.
“I don't know if he (Senator Graham) will be happy with my words, but only the Ukrainian people can make such a decision“, Zelensky said. He emphasized that in the US, the president is elected by his own voters, as happens in any civilized country.
Senator Graham criticized Zelensky last night for his position towards Russia during negotiations with Donald Trump. The senator noted that the Ukrainian president "either has to resign and send someone to work with, or he has to change." Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have expressed their support for Zelensky.
