Trump says he won't push Russia away from Ukraine talks, attacks Zelensky

US President Donald Trump said he does not want to take measures that would push Russia away from negotiations over the war in Ukraine, citing progress in talks. He also launched a personal attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In a Truth Social post, Trump linked his stance toward Moscow to Iran, saying Russia does little to help Tehran and he wants to avoid actions that could increase Russian support for Iran. He accused Zelensky of targeting Russian diesel refineries, harming global fuel markets, and claimed the Ukrainian leader does not want to end the conflict. Trump stated Ukraine has suffered huge territorial and human losses and reiterated his desire to end the war, writing "I WANT THIS WAR TO END" in capital letters. He also suggested Zelensky could have secured a better deal two years ago.
