Trump says Zelensky never wanted to end the war
US President Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of never wanting to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, claiming Zelensky's attacks on Russian diesel refineries harm global fuel markets, including in the United States. Trump stated in his Truth Social post that Zelensky targets Russian diesel plants despite knowing the impact on American farmers and businesses, adding that Zelensky could have secured a better deal two years ago. He claimed Ukraine's territory and population have suffered greatly. Trump said he is negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia and does not want to push Russia away from talks, claiming significant progress is being made. This follows Zelensky's Sunday accusation that Trump is pressuring Ukraine toward capitulation and delaying Patriot interceptor missile deliveries.
