Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Donald Trump of pressuring Kyiv to surrender to Russia, escalating a week-long dispute with the U.S. president, according to Bloomberg. Zelensky proposed halting Ukrainian strikes on Russian diesel refineries in exchange for more Patriot air-defense missiles, responding to Trump's demand to lower diesel prices. He cited U.S. actions like slowing Starlink internet speeds and delaying Patriot shipments. Zelensky warned of dangerous days ahead of the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, saying Washington wants Ukraine to stop targeting diesel facilities without offering compensation, while Kyiv faces critical missile shortages.
