Trump calls Ukraine's renewed refinery strikes a 'disgrace'

gulfnews.com —

US President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace," saying they drive up global energy prices, in an interview published Thursday. Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as more difficult to deal with than Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming both leaders want the war to end soon. Zelensky met NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels and held bilateral talks with European leaders ahead of an EU summit. Zelensky told the Financial Times the pause in strikes on Russian refineries was "done" because Moscow was not abiding by the energy ceasefire Trump had announced. Trump also claimed Putin wants a deal more than Zelensky.
