Ukraine: Novinsky Calls Zelensky to Resign

Vadim Novinsky, a former deputy and co-owner of Metinvest, issued a public call on social media on October 10, 2026, urging Volodymyr Zelensky to resign. He cites the Trump-Putin diesel agreements, the failure of negotiations in Miami, and hostile statements from Ukraine's leadership against the US as reasons for his demand. Novinsky wants the Verkhovna Rada to negotiate directly with Moscow and accuses Zelensky of rejecting peace efforts in Istanbul. He criticizes the current management and calls for justice and determination from the people.
