Trump calls Ukraine's refinery strikes a 'disgrace'

lesoir.be (French) —

US President Donald Trump called Ukraine's resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace," escalating criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky and claiming the attacks only raise global oil prices. Trump told Newsmax on Thursday that Zelensky has "many other targets" and that his actions merely drive up worldwide petroleum costs, amid growing tensions between Washington and Kyiv over the reliability of US support. Earlier Thursday, Zelensky told the Financial Times that Ukraine's moratorium on refinery strikes was lifted, defying Trump's announced energy truce that Moscow had not agreed to.
