Selenskyj under pressure: Is his resignation the key to peace?

The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj is currently exposed to enormous pressure, especially according to the latest statements by US President Donald Trump. The former president massively criticized the position of Ukraine in the conflict and described Selenskyj as the "dictator without elections". Trump's sharp attacks on the Ukrainian President came, while he stimulated a redesign of the negotiations on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and considered a direct meeting between Selenskyj and the Russian President Vladimir Putin to end, as Augsburger Allgemeine reported .

Selenskyj reacts to these attacks by offering his resignation, but on the condition that this step leads to peace in Ukraine. At a press conference in Kiev, he said that he was ready to give up his office if this would result in the accession of Ukraine to NATO. He also emphasized that he wanted to see Trump as a partner of Ukraine - not only as an intermediary between the hostile nations after Trump had previously explained that Ukraine had "nothing in his hand" to influence the conversations about the war. These blatant views of Trump about Ukraine and Selenskyj have led to a significant tightening of the sound between the two nations, so krone.at .
