Trump Calls Ukraine's Refinery Strikes 'a Disgrace'

tagesspiegel.de (German) —

US President Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukraine's resumption of attacks on Russian oil refineries, calling it "a disgrace" and saying the strikes drive up global energy prices. Trump also reiterated criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, accusing him of showing less willingness to negotiate than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump stated the war must end soon and that dealing with Zelenskyy is more difficult than dealing with Putin. Zelenskyy had previously told the Financial Times that the mutual halt on energy infrastructure attacks announced by Trump was "void" for him, as Kyiv withdrew from the deal without prior consultation.
