Bernie Sanders dismisses Republicans’ ‘horrific’ calls for Zelenskyy to resign

Senator responds to Republicans' pro-resignation remarks after Ukrainian president's heated meeting with Trump

Independent US senator Bernie Sanders has dismissed as horrific" claims that Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy may have to resign after a diplomatic meltdown in the Oval Office with Donald Trump.

Sanders' comments, in an interview with NBC's Meet The Press on Sunday morning, served as a retort to pro-resignation remarks from his fellow US senator Lindsey Graham, which in turn had been affirmed by the Republican House speaker Mike Johnson.
