Zelenskyy claps back after Trump calls for new Ukrainian president
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia alone is responsible for the war in Ukraine, after President Trump said he should be replaced.
The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, pledged on Sunday to continue targeting Russian oil refineries in response to President Trump's call for a new Ukrainian leader. Trump blamed Zelenskyy for high diesel prices in the United States and suggested a replacement. Zelenskyy attributed the conflict to Russia's actions alone and demanded Russia halt attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Ukraine is ready to cease strikes if Russia does the same, according to Zelenskyy. A drone attack on a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia, disrupted services across multiple regions, affecting transportation, banking, and other services. This attack is part of a long-range aerial war between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides locked in conflict despite a largely stalemate on the ground.
