Donald Trump has said it is "time for Ukraine to get a new President" amid an intensifying row with Volodymyr Zelensky.
The US leader's comments come as he inked a major diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President Trump is understood to have made the deal after President Zelensky resisted his request to cease attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure.
“He better damn well stop,” the US leader told reporters after striking an agreement with Moscow to release its diesel supplies into the global market.
“I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal”.
Russian oil refineries have been devastated by Ukraine's successful drone and missile campaign against the invading power.
This led the Kremlin to impose an export ban on diesel as it tried to respond to the strikes.
Moscow's move piled further pressure on the global energy market, still reeling from the Iran war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Friday, President Trump announced that Russia had agreed to supply “immediately more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel fuel” amid record-high prices for the product.
He also said Washington would lift sanctions on Russian diesel to help make another 1.5 million tonnes available by year-end.
