Trump asked Zelensky to slow strikes on Russian oil refineries

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

U.S. President Donald Trump said he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to slow down strikes on Russian oil refineries, warning the attacks could create a "world problem." Trump claimed Zelensky replied, "We will probably do so." Trump told journalists he made the request because exploding Russian refineries pose a global issue, not just a regional one. He noted Ukraine is targeting diesel plants amid the war. No confirmation from Zelensky exists, as the response is known only from Trump's account. The remarks follow Trump's earlier push for trilateral arms control talks between the U.S., Russia, and China, announced after his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
