President Donald Trump's decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine has been described as "catastrophic" by a Ukrainian MP, who tells Sky News that "thousands of people will die".
"I understand that we have a crisis in relations between the two countries now after Friday's meeting in the Oval Office, but I just want to ask Donald Trump to reconsider... maybe just give us some time to get out of this situation, because this is catastrophic for us," Oleksiy Goncharenko told host Wilfred Frost, A2 CNN writes.
He went on to say that Trump's decision will embolden Putin, making the divide even greater.
In a message to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Goncharenko called on the Ukrainian president to do "everything he can to get out of this" and said "he should go and apologize" to Trump.
"We have to heal this division, we have to work together with America, we have to be together," he said, writes A2 CNN.
When asked whether Volodymyr Zelenskyy should step down, Goncharenko explained that Zelenskyy said he would not seek re-election after becoming president in 2019.
"I think it's time to remember this and maybe say openly after the war is over that there will be elections and I think at least he should consider not running," the Ukrainian MP said, writes A2 CNN.
