Trump Lashes Out at Zelensky Over Russian Refinery Attacks: 'Disgrace'

U.S. President Donald Trump has condemned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for Kyiv's resumption of strikes on oil facilities in Russia, calling it a "disgrace."

In an interview with Newsmax, Trump was asked about a drone attack on an oil facility in the Russian city of Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, on Thursday. The attack came after Kyiv apparently honored a truce on energy strikes that Trump had unilaterally declared last week.

"Zelensky is not a good guy for us to deal with," Trump said, adding: "He doesn't want to settle. He says he wants to settle, but he doesn't."

"All he's doing is making the world oil price higher," the U.S. president continued. "Well, I think that's a disgrace."

Zelensky has criticized Trump for easing sanctions on Russian diesel and for restrictions on the speed of the Starlink satellite network, which is critical for Ukrainian drone strikes and defense from Russian attacks.
