Trump thinks Ukraine needs a new president. Who could replace Zelenskyy?

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Ukraine needs a new president, criticizing Zelenskyy for his strikes on Russian refineries. Despite his presidential term ending in 2024, Zelenskyy remains in office due to wartime extensions, but many Ukrainians favor political renewal after five years of war. Kyiv analyst Igar Tyshkevych considers Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's former top general and current ambassador to the UK, as the most likely rival to Zelenskyy if elections are held soon, while former leaders like Viktor Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko are unlikely contenders.
