Trump calls Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil a 'disgrace' as energy ceasefire fails

thejournal.ie —

President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace," saying they drive up global energy prices, as his declared energy ceasefire failed to materialize. He also claimed Zelenskyy is less willing than Putin to compromise. Trump told Newsmax that Zelenskyy is "more difficult to deal with than Putin," marking the latest criticism after he suggested Ukraine needs a new leader. Ukraine had held back strikes for three days at Trump's request, but Russia continued its own attacks. Zelenskyy met NATO and European leaders in Brussels for support, with France and Poland pledging solidarity. Separately, UK defense secretary Wes Streeting said US assurances confirmed Ukraine's Starlink access was restored after a reported service interruption.
