Zelensky rallies European allies as US ties sour

france24.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is rallying European allies at a Brussels summit on Friday after declaring Kyiv will no longer follow US President Donald Trump's demand to avoid striking Russian oil refineries. Relations between Kyiv and Washington have deteriorated since last week, when Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing large amounts of diesel onto global markets, prompting Zelensky's defiance.
