Trump says Zelensky prolongs war as Ukraine and Russia trade strikes
President Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of not wanting to end the war, claiming Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are damaging global diesel markets, while the Wall Street Journal reports Putin proposed a trilateral summit with Trump and Xi. Russian forces launched two ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv overnight, killing a 21-year-old woman and injuring others, while Ukraine conducted a massive drone assault on St. Petersburg, killing one person and injuring five. The WSJ reports Putin's proposed summit would exclude Zelensky, alarming European allies. Zelensky stated he would run for president if elections are held during martial law, and claimed both Musk and Trump are behind Starlink restrictions, though US intelligence sharing on Russian missiles has been restored.
