Volodymyr Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky told British media on Sunday it would not be easy to replace him as Ukraine’s president, but repeated his offer to step down in exchange for NATO membership for his war-torn country.

US Republicans had suggested he may have to resign after US president Donald Trump dramatically turned against him during a contentious Oval Office meeting about the war with Russia on Friday.

‘If they replace me, given what is going on, given the support, simply replacing me will not be simple,’ Zelensky told British media.

‘It’s not enough to just hold an election. You need to also not let me run. This will be a bit more difficult. Looks like you will have to negotiate with me,’ he added.

‘And I said that I am exchanging for NATO. Then I fulfilled my mission.’

The unprecedented public spat at the Oval Office resulted in Zelensky leaving the White House without the anticipated signing of a preliminary pact on sharing Ukrainian mineral rights.

While European leaders rallied around Ukraine, Republican officials appeared Sunday on news programmes questioning whether any deal could be reached with Russia so long as Zelensky remains.

‘We need a leader that can deal with us, eventually deal with the Russians, and end this war,’ National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told CNN.

‘And if it becomes apparent that president Zelensky’s either personal motivations or political motivations are divergent from ending the fighting in this country, then I think we have a real issue.’

Republican Mike Johnson, speaker of the House of Representatives, also questioned whether Zelensky was fit for the job.

‘Either he needs to come to his senses and come back to the table in gratitude, or someone else needs to lead the country.’

Senior Democrats have angrily pushed back since the debacle Friday, saying Trump has come dangerously close to an all-out embrace of Russia.

Zelensky has been calling for Ukraine to be given NATO membership as part of any deal to end the war, but the Washington-led alliance has been reluctant to make a pledge.

Trump said in February that Ukraine can ‘forget about’ joining NATO in any settlement, explaining: ‘I think that’s probably the reason the whole thing started.’

Russia cited potential Ukrainian membership in NATO as a reason for its invasion three years ago.​

Ukrainian officials on Monday reported an unspecified number of fatalities from a Russian missile strike on Saturday against a military training ground around 130 kilometres from the front line.

‘In the middle of the day, on March 1, the enemy attacked a military unit on the territory of a training ground in the Dnipropetrovsk region,’ Ukraine’s Commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky said on social media.

‘The attack by an Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster munition resulted in deaths and injuries,’ he said, without providing figures.

A military source said that the strike hit ‘an army training ground near the village of Cherkaske’ outside the city of Dnipro.

A respected Ukrainian military blogger, Yury Butusov, said that between 30 and 40 soldiers were killed and around 90 more were injured. No official toll has been released.

‘The tragedy is a terrible consequence of an enemy strike,’ Ukraine’s land forces commander Major General Mykhailo Drapaty said, expressing ‘heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims’.

Syrsky said a commission had been set up ‘to establish all the circumstances and causes of the tragedy’ and that the head of the training centre and commander of the unit have been suspended pending the investigation.

Ukrainian lawmaker Mariana Bezugla said on Facebook that the strike happened when soldiers were lined up in formation, accusing commanders of ‘stupidity’ and an ‘inability to adapt to new realities’.

A military source said there was ‘no lining up or gathering of people’, adding that ‘elements of destruction were scattered over a large area’.

There have been several similar attacks during the three-year war including a strike on a military institute in Poltava in September last year in which some 60 people were killed.

Drapaty said there were ‘unlearnt lessons’.

‘Anger is eating away at me from the inside,’ he said, pointing the finger at some military officials ‘who continue to negligently’ fulfil their duties.

He said he would not allow anyone to ‘try to hide the truth in the fog of bureaucracy’.​

Ceasefire without guarantees will be failure: Zelensky

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has told British media that a ceasefire without security guarantees for his country would not bring a lasting end to Russia’s invasion after allies called for a truce.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has told British media that a ceasefire without security guarantees for his country would not bring a lasting end to Russia’s invasion after allies called for a truce.

At a press conference on Sunday after talks with European allies in London, Zelensky dismissed as ‘not enough’ the idea that a ceasefire would end the war.

Following the crisis summit on Sunday, French president Emmanuel Macron said that France and Britain were proposing a one-month truce in Ukraine ‘in the air, at sea and on energy infrastructure’ although not, initially at least, covering ground fighting.

Zelensky told journalists shortly before departing Britain that ‘it will be a failure for everyone if Ukraine is forced into a ceasefire without serious security guarantees’. He predicted that Russia would break the deal and Ukraine would retaliate.

‘Imagine a week later, the Russians will hit us, and we will shoot at their side, totally understandably, and what will it be?’ Zelensky said, predicting years of wrangles over who was first to fire.

‘Who will benefit for this? The Russians, but definitely not us.’

Describing Sunday’s talks as a ‘very powerful start’, however, Zelensky said that negotiations in coming weeks ‘will provide a more actionable plan and a better understanding of what Ukraine’s security guarantees could look like’.

During an angry encounter in Washington on Friday, US president Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused Zelensky of not being ‘thankful’ and refusing to accept their proposed truce terms, while Zelensky said he needed security guarantees.

The contentious meeting resulted in Zelensky leaving the White House without signing a preliminary pact on sharing Ukrainian mineral rights.

Some senior US Republicans suggested after that Zelensky should resign.

‘We need a leader that can deal with us, eventually deal with the Russians, and end this war,’ National Security Adviser Mike Waltz told CNN.

Zelensky said Sunday it would not be easy to replace him, but repeated his offer to step down in exchange for NATO membership for his war-torn country.

‘If they replace me, given what is going on, given the support, simply replacing me will not be simple,’ Zelensky said.

‘It’s not enough to just hold an election. You need to also not let me run. This will be a bit more difficult. Looks like you will have to negotiate with me,’ he added.

‘And I said that I am exchanging for NATO. Then I fulfilled my mission.’

Russia has repeatedly insisted that Zelensky is not legitimate president since he would have faced a 2024 election in peacetime. Ukraine’s martial law imposed a legal ban on holding elections.​
