Trump calls Ukraine refinery strikes a 'disgrace' as ties weaken

rte.ie —

President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace," claiming they drive up global energy prices. He also said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is more difficult than Russian President Vladimir Putin in peace negotiations. Trump told Newsmax that the war "should end soon" and that both leaders want it to end, but he finds Zelensky harder to deal with. His comments come amid weakening US-Ukraine ties. Zelensky met NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels and held bilateral talks with European leaders before an EU summit, seeking support as relations with Washington deteriorate.
