Zelenskyy says he would resign in exchange for Ukraine's NATO membership​

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's future as president of Ukraine was cast into doubt by longtime supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, and others after the embattled leader got into a nationally televised spat with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office Friday.

Graham's call wasn’t the first time key Republicans have suggested Zelenskyy might need to step down, or at least stand for re-election. Trump pushed the idea earlier this month following a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump first said Ukraine should hold elections after falsely claiming he only enjoyed a 4% approval rating, though under Ukraine’s constitution the country cannot hold elections when Martial Law is in effect during a time of war.

Maybe this dude:

Zaluzhny and Zelenskyy have had their differences, resulting in the general being dismissed from his military post in 2024. Carnegie Politika blog recently reported that his popularity is strong, with 80% of Ukranians saying they trust him. The publication also noted that a hypothetical second-round runoff between the two resulted in a statistical tie.

Ukraine would break out into civil war if Zelensky leaves office.

Some parts like Crimea, has more Russians than Ukrainians, and they'll seek to remain part of Russia.

I don't think Zelenskyy is going to step down or have elections

The history of Ukraine and Russia is very complex and I doubt most Americans actually know what is taking place there.

They see the invasion by Putin as if he were to have invaded France. This isn't what happened.

The conflicts between Russia and Ukraine go further back centuries.

Just google the history of Ukraine and Wikipedia will give you some idea of the complexities.

You're probably right.

However, I think perhaps Zelensky will get defeated and seek a
country for a safe haven along with his billions in a Swiss bank account.

Hmm that sounds like a dictator. Nah, couldn't be.

But I heard he's just one of the common folk, hence the humble getup.

Yep.

I've never seen a standup comedian read his jokes from a clipboard before.
