Zelensky Suggests Trump Take Out Vladimir Putin After MaduroKurt Zindulka 3 Jan 2026
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the United States should take out Russian leader Vladimir Putin next, following the capture of Venezuela’s socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
In a series of early morning strikes, a United States Special Forces-led operation saw the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both of whom now face criminal charges in the Southern District of New York related to Narco-Terrorism.
The toppling of the socialist dictator, who had ruled Venezuela with an iron fist since 2013, was met with approval in Kyiv, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggesting that similar methods could be used to deal with Vladimir Putin, who has waged a nearly four-year war in Ukraine.
Speaking to the press following a meeting of European national security advisors, Zelensky said, per Ukrinform, of the toppling of Maduro: “Well, what can I say? If dictators can be dealt with like this, then the United States of America knows what it should do next.”
The potentially incendiary comments from the Ukrainian leader come amid tense negotiations led by the Trump administration to forge a lasting peace agreement between Moscow and Kyiv.
Tensions were heightened last week over what the Kremlin has claimed was a Ukrainian drone strike on Putin’s presidential residence in Novgorod region. While Moscow has claimed to have proof, the United States CIA has reportedly found that the strikes were not intended to hit the Russian leader’s residence.
