Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks during a briefing in Kyiv, Ukraine, Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared to issue a call to action to Donald Trump after the US captured Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro.

The States arrested Maduro in his home in the early hours of Saturday and has already indicted him and his wife, Cilia Flores, on narco-terrorism conspiracy charges in New York.

Trump has also released photos of Maduro, blindfolded and handcuffed, on a plane out of Venezuela, and claimed the US will “run” the South American country until a safe transition of power can take place.

Asked for his response to this shocking turn of events, Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy said: “If it is possible to deal with dictators like that, just like that, then the United States of America knows what to do next.”

This was widely seen as a hint Trump should remove Russian dictator
