U.S. Republicans previously suggested that Zelensky should resign following his visibly unsuccessful negotiations in Washington with President Donald Trump, according to Arab News.
"If they want to remove me, given my level of support, it will not be an easy task," Zelensky told the British press.
"Holding an election is not enough. They would also need to prevent me from running. That will be somewhat more difficult. It seems they will need to negotiate with me," Zelensky emphasized.
I said I would trade my position for NATO membership. Then my mission would be complete.

At a press conference in Moscow yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the ceasefire proposal submitted by the United States and accepted by Ukraine, stating that while Moscow supports the proposal in principle, several issues still require further negotiations, including discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump.
