Trump loses patience with Ukraine's refinery strikes, WSJ reports

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries, fearing they could raise fuel prices for Americans, prompting Washington to pressure Kyiv, according to The Wall Street Journal. Trump raised the issue with President Volodymyr Zelensky in September, and the US has since demanded an end to the attacks about six times. Ukraine offered a mutual halt to energy strikes, but Russia refused, so Kyiv continued. The dispute has worsened Trump's view of Zelensky, with Washington warning of potential intelligence or weapons cuts, though US officials deny threats. Analysts link fuel price hikes mainly to the war with Iran.
