Trump calls Ukraine's refinery strikes a 'shame' as oil prices rise

rtp.pt (Portuguese) —

Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of raising global oil prices by resuming attacks on Russian refineries, calling the strikes a "shame" in a Newsmax interview. Trump said Ukraine should not target facilities producing diesel, which the world needs, and claimed Zelensky is harder to deal with than Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also suggested Ukraine needs new elections. The Ukrainian attacks followed Zelensky's announcement that Kyiv was abandoning a ceasefire covering energy facilities. Russian drone strikes in Ukraine's Volyn region left 370,000 people without power, while Poland activated fighter jets during the attacks.
