Trump’s Alleged Coup Attempt: Fury Over Zelensky Rivals Meeting
Following a Politico report alleging a plot to oust Ukrainian President Zelensky, two political rivals, Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko, confirmed contact with members of Donald Trump’s team. While both deny supporting snap elections during the ongoing war, a Republican foreign policy expert suggests their engagement aims to present themselves as more palatable alternatives to Zelensky. Public opinion polls, however, indicate significantly lower support for Poroshenko and Tymoshenko compared to Zelensky’s approval ratings. Zelensky’s recent improved standing follows a public disagreement with Trump.
