Trump calls Ukraine refinery strike a disgrace, says Zelensky harder to deal with than Putin
US President Donald Trump called Ukraine's attack on a Russian oil refinery "a disgrace," saying it raises global fuel prices and that President Volodymyr Zelensky is more difficult to deal with than Vladimir Putin. Trump told Newsmax that Zelensky "doesn't want to reach a deal" on peace, repeating criticism from last week. The refinery struck Thursday is in Ryazan, about 280 kilometers southeast of Moscow, and supplies fuel to the Russian capital. Zelensky met European leaders in Brussels on Friday, where EU Council President António Costa rejected easing sanctions on Russia. Ukraine has reportedly run out of US-made Patriot missiles, and the White House ordered limits on SpaceX's Starshield satellite service for Kyiv's military.
