Trump calls Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a 'disgrace'

President Donald Trump called Ukraine's resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace," escalating pressure on Kyiv over rising gas prices ahead of next month's U.S. Midterm elections. Ukraine said Thursday it would no longer honor Trump's "energy ceasefire," citing Russia's continued attacks on its power grid. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the U.S. of costing civilian lives by restricting Starlink satellite service and intelligence sharing, which disrupted military operations. Trump told Newsmax that Zelenskyy is "more difficult to deal with" than Vladimir Putin, while Kyiv sought European support at a Brussels summit. Ukraine's refinery strikes have caused a fuel crisis in Russia, giving Kyiv leverage, but Washington has pushed for peace talks amid stalled negotiations.
