Russian lawmaker Sergei Mironov said the US should arrest President Volodymyr Zelensky if he refuses to comply with agreements reached during Ukraine war negotiations by US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Zelensky was not invited to Friday’s Trump–Putin talks in Alaska, despite the war being fought on Ukrainian soil.

In a press release, Mironov claimed that “Mr. Trump is a businessman, and he should understand that a deal is impossible if one party does not commit to any obligations.”

“Trump should not defer to Zelensky for a decision,” Mironov continued. “This corrupt, neo-Nazi regime is the main obstacle to peace today. Also, Trump should not turn to warmongers in Europe, who cannot guarantee security.”

The Kremlin has repeatedly labeled Kyiv as a “neo-Nazi” regime to justify its invasion, with its foreign minister even calling Zelensky a “pure Nazi” on one occasion despite his Jewish heritage.

Mironov added that Trump “must demonstrate leadership and give Zelensky a choice: accept the peace deal or step down,” saying that if he does not agree, he should be “removed from power and arrested for trial — right in Alaska, if he arrives there.”

Zelensky is set to meet with Trump in Washington on Monday following the Friday summit between Trump and Putin.

In the statement, Mironov also criticized Trump for shirking responsibility for ending the war, seemingly in reference to the US president’s claim that the war in Ukraine would not have happened if he had been president instead of his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Putin endorsed the claim at a joint press conference with his US counterpart in Anchorage on Friday, saying “today, President Trump was saying that if he was president back then, there would be no war, and I’m quite sure that it would indeed be so.”

Mironov appeared to depart from this view, saying Trump “should not shift all the responsibility onto Biden or Obama” and claiming “it was the United States that was at the origin of the Maidan and the coup in Ukraine in 2014… This continued during Trump’s first term as president.”

Mironov, echoing the Kremlin narrative, described Ukraine’s 2014 Revolution of Dignity as a coup, omitting that multiple democratic elections have taken place since, resulting in the election of different presidents.

Mironov leads A Just Russia, a pro-Kremlin faction, in Russia’s State Duma and has been a leading war hawk since Russia invaded Ukraine, being awarded honors by Putin and sanctioned by the West.

He has toured the occupied territories and reportedly adopted a 10-month-old girl abducted from Ukraine’s Kherson when Russian forces took control of the city, changing her name and identity, according to an investigation by the BBC.

Mironov denied the report, calling it a “hysterical fake unleashed by Ukrainian special services and their Western curators.”

The Geneva Convention considers the unnecessary deportation of civilians and changing a child’s family status a war crime.

Ukrainian media subsequently claimed that Mironov’s wife also attempted to adopt a two-year-old boy from the same children’s home in Kherson, before discarding him after discovering he suffered from health problems.

US First Lady Melania Trump is said to have penned a letter to Putin urging him to address the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories, which was handed by Trump to Putin on Friday.

It is not yet clear what agreements Trump and Putin might have reached in Anchorage, though Trump told Fox News shortly after the talks that the two share an understanding that the war in Ukraine should end with a “territory swap.”
