Trump calls Ukraine's refinery strikes a 'disgrace' over energy prices

reuters.com [$] —

US President Donald Trump called Ukraine's resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace" that keeps global energy prices elevated, in a Newsmax interview aired Thursday. Ukraine struck a Russian refinery after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy abandoned a US-brokered ceasefire covering energy sites, citing Russia's continued missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian power infrastructure. Trump criticized Zelenskiy as more difficult to deal with than Putin. The US has been mediating a ceasefire in the war that began with Russia's 2022 invasion. Ukraine also faces reduced access to a satellite system it relies on for military operations, following a White House order.
