To the editor: Ukraine ought to get a brand new president? No, we must always (“Trump says Ukraine should get a new president as he blames Zelensky for U.S. diesel prices,” Oct. 10). President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky each had tv careers earlier than coming into politics, however that’s the place their similarities finish.
Zelensky builds European coalitions. Trump alienates allies. Zelensky governs in a state of conflict. Trump can barely govern a Congress his get together controls. Zelensky dodges Russian bombs. Trump dodges his personal bombs.
Trump blames Zelensky for the value of diesel. Russian diesel has been sanctioned since 2022.
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. The Russian invasion was presupposed to be over in a couple of weeks. Trump ordered an assault on Iran on Feb. 28. The U.S. conflict was presupposed to be over in a couple of weeks.
Zelensky has fought a superpower for nearly 5 years. Trump is popping Iran right into a Center Japanese superpower because it withstands the highly effective U.S. navy for greater than seven months.
Zelensky isn’t liable for excessive diesel costs. Trump is liable for excessive diesel costs for bungling the Strait of Hormuz’s oil movement to the world.
Zelensky has refused to make a peace take care of Russia with out safety from one other invasion. Trump makes a take care of Russia to purchase diesel that may gas the conflict towards Ukraine. So, which nation wants a brand new president?

To the editor: If I have been a resident of Ukraine, there isn’t a president I might reasonably have than Zelensky. He’s doing every thing he can to guard the lives of his fellow residents. Trump’s feedback affirm that the one factor that issues to him is that they’ve a president who desires to please Trump and, due to this fact, the lives and desires of Ukrainians don’t matter to Trump. What sort of world are we dwelling in?

To the editor: I can’t consider that President Trump requested that Ukraine cease attacking Russian oil refineries (“The Kremlin relishes in the U.S.-Russia diesel deal and Trump’s criticism of Zelensky,” Oct. 12)! Ukraine is defending itself towards an invading aggressor and will use all means obtainable to guard itself, together with bombing its enemies’ refineries. Actually, Ukraine is in the identical place as our Founding Fathers within the 18th century, defending our nascent nation towards the British to win freedom and self-determination. Freedom and self-determination are clearly what the Ukrainians are combating for, and the U.S. ought to assist them on this.
In line with the article, Trump apparently casted Zelensky as “an impediment to peace,” which is laughable. The one “impediment to peace” is Putin, the invader and aggressor.
