Trump FORCING Zelensky to Leave Ukraine? Former Ukrainian PM Reveals Zelensky’s Secret Escape Plan

Zelensky will resign and leave Ukraine, former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov has predicted, citing what he described as a US-backed effort to remove the country’s leader. In a post on Telegram on Sunday, Azarov suggested that the decision to remove Zelensky from power “has already been made in the US” and that Washington has given the “go-ahead” for his ouster. He wrote that although the Ukrainian leader has support in Europe, it is unlikely to change anything and will “hardly help” him. #Zelensky #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpUkraine #Geopolitics #PeaceTalks #NATOPressure #ZelenskyResign #UkraineNews #WorldPolitics #USUkraine #WarInUkraine #GlobalTensions #AzarovClaims #PoliticalDrama Also Read Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.346~

Is Vivek Ramaswamy Replacing Elon Musk At Doge? Who Are the Front runners for DOGE'S Top Position?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next. #VivekRamaswamy #ElonMusk #DOGE #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #MuskExit #GovernmentEfficiency #Layoffs #DogeNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #FutureOfDoge #VivekAtDoge #Trump2025 #BureaucracyReform #DogeLeadership #USGovernment #RamaswamyComeback #TechInPolitics
