Read briefing US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that Ukraine needs a new president “who can make a deal” to end the war, and he called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop hitting Russian oil refineries. This comes after Washington moved to ease sanctions on Russian diesel, and Moscow's continued strikes on Ukraine killed at least 21 people, including four children. Read our liveblog to see how the day's events unfolded.This liveblog is no longer being updated. For more coverage on the war in Ukraine, click here.British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Saturday told Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky he had his "complete solidarity" after he clashed with US President Donald Trump over a diesel deal with Russia.In a call between the two leaders, Burnham told the Ukrainian president he recognised that "the past 24 hours had been difficult for Ukraine and reiterated his complete solidarity", according to a readout released by his Downing Street office.Ukraine's foreign minister said President Volodymyr Zelensky had the backing of the Ukrainian people and deserved support after US President Donald Trump called for him to be replaced."He has the support of the Ukrainian people, and they have the right to decide," Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said of Zelensky in a post on X."Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing his job well. He deserves support."Russian President Vladimir Putin's top economic negotiator on Saturday welcomed Donald Trump's call for a new Ukrainian president, describing the US leader's remarks as "iconic and historic"."President Trump joins the many who believe that Ukraine needs leadership actually focused on peace, not Zelensky's warmongering ... Iconic and historic," Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin's special envoy on economic cooperation, said in a post on X.US President Donald Trump called for new leadership in Ukraine, slamming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and calling on Kyiv's leader to stop hitting Russian oil refineries."He better damn well stop," Trump told reporters at the White House, one day after saying he had struck a deal allowing Russia to supply diesel to global markets."I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal," he said, referring to Zelensky.Early Saturday, Russia targeted residential neighbourhoods in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia with "five guided aerial bombs", according to Ukraine's National Police. At least 15 people were killed, including three children, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said.Russia’s Defence Ministry said its drones had struck a data-processing centre in Kyiv earlier on Saturday and a cargo ship carrying military supplies to the Ukrainian port of Odesa.In a statement, the ministry said the Kyiv facility was used by Ukraine’s armed forces to collect, process and store intelligence.Fifteen people, including three children, were killed in a Russian attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, a day after US President Donald Trump announced a deal to lift sanctions on Russian diesel, in a major setback for Kyiv.A delegation of Ukrainian officials who visited Miami for talks on ending Russia's war in Ukraine was heading home on Saturday, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said."The groups are already on their way home," Dmytro Lytvyn, an advisor to the president, told reporters in response to an AFP question.US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who have spearheaded efforts to broker a Ukraine peace agreement, may visit Moscow within the next two weeks, Russian state news agency TASS reported, citing a source.EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said lifting sanctions on Russian diesel helped fuel the Kremlin's war on Ukraine, after US President Donald Trump announced a deal for Moscow to supply fuel."Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO allies," Kallas posted online."Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war. This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won't," she wrote.French President Emmanuel Macron spoke on Saturday with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to “express solidarity” on behalf of France “in the face of the ongoing attacks” by Russia, as 15 people were killed in Russian bombings on Zaporizhzhia.“The President of the Republic spoke today with President Zelensky to express our solidarity in the face of the ongoing attacks,” the head of state’s office said.The Élysée did not immediately react to US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a deal on the delivery of Russian diesel to the US and global markets, accompanied by a lifting of sanctions on Moscow.Rescue workers pull a woman from the rubble of a residential building destroyed by a Russian air strike in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, on October 10, 2026. ©Kateryna Klochko, AP
