Trump signals support for Zelenskyy replacement; Zaluzhnyi, Budanov, Fedorov emerge as candidates

US President Trump reportedly believes Ukraine needs new leadership, with former General Zaluzhnyi, intelligence chief Budanov, and reformer Fedorov as potential successors. This marks a significant shift in US posture toward Kyiv, potentially undermining Zelenskyy's wartime authority. The claim is based on a single media report; official confirmation is lacking, and the feasibility of a leadership change amid ongoing conflict remains uncertain.
