Ukraine strikes on Russia refineries 'a disgrace' - Trump
US President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace", adding that they were driving up global energy prices.
Former US President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian oil refineries, deeming them a "disgrace" and contributing to global energy price hikes. Trump expressed frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that he was less amenable to compromise than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested that both leaders would ideally like to end the conflict soon, though he found Zelensky more challenging to negotiate with compared to Putin.
Amid strained relations with Trump, Zelensky met with NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels and held numerous bilateral discussions with European leaders prior to attending an EU summit. Zelensky disclosed to The Financial Times that the temporary halt in strikes against Russian refineries was contingent upon Russia adhering to the ceasefire announced by Trump regarding energy infrastructure.
