: Graham stated that Zelenskyy had "behaved terribly" during his conversation with Trump and said he "either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change".

Zelenskyy, in turn, responded to Graham, saying that only Ukrainians would vote for their president.

: "I don’t know if he [Graham] will be happy after my words. This decision can do only people of Ukraine."

"If the US supports NATO [accession], up to, I think it’s enough for Ukraine. I did all I had to do. And if somebody is not happy with me, okay [I will resign]."
