Trump calls renewed Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries ‘a disgrace’
The US president took aim at Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, asserting that he was less willing than Vladimir Putin to reach a compromise to end the war.
US President Donald Trump has labeled Ukraine's recent attacks on Russian oil refineries as a "disgrace" in an interview with broadcaster Newsmax. Trump, 80, expressed his belief that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky desire a swift end to the ongoing war. However, Trump felt that Zelensky was more challenging to negotiate with compared to Putin.
The age-old conflict between the two nations continues to escalate, with Ukraine pausing its strikes against Russian refineries as per a ceasefire agreement announced by Trump. Despite this, the Ukrainian leader has been actively engaging with NATO chief Mark Rutte and European leaders, attending an EU summit in Brussels.
