Trump Accuses Zelensky of Not Wanting to End Ukraine War

20minutes.fr (French) —

President Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday of not wanting to end the war with Russia, saying on Truth Social that Zelensky "doesn't want to end this war and probably never did," while asserting "I WANT THIS WAR TO END." Trump defended his recent decisions favoring Moscow, including a Friday executive order exempting Russia from new US sanctions and a Washington-Moscow agreement allowing US imports of Russian diesel. He linked Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries to rising diesel prices, a key issue ahead of midterm elections, saying farmers and businesses suffer from the attacks. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Washington's resumption of intelligence sharing after a three-day pause. Trump had earlier called Kyiv's refinery strikes a "shame" and said working with Zelensky is "more difficult" than with Putin.
