Trump Criticizes Zelensky Over Ukraine's Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries

During a recent interview, US President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, labeling Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries as a "disgrace." He described Zelensky as "more difficult" to deal with than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump contended that these strikes contribute to rising global oil prices, stating, "All he's doing is making the world oil price higher." He emphasized that targeting diesel refineries is detrimental because "we need that, and the world needs that." This commentary followed Ukraine's assault on a Rosneft refinery near Moscow. Zelensky had announced the end of a ceasefire concerning energy sites, which Trump had previously declared, and criticized Trump's readiness to negotiate with Russia.
