U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine’s renewed drone strikes on Russian oil refineries after a proposed ceasefire covering energy infrastructure failed to take hold.
Ukraine resumed the attacks after briefly halting them to demonstrate its readiness for peace talks, according to The Guardian. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv was abandoning a ceasefire Trump had unilaterally declared because Russia continued striking Ukrainian power plants. Reuters also reported that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries resumed following the collapse of the energy-infrastructure ceasefire.
In an interview with Newsmax aired Thursday, Trump called the refinery strikes “a disgrace,” arguing that they were raising global oil prices. “There are a lot of targets you can hit,” he said, adding that attacks on facilities producing diesel were not “a good service for the world.” Trump also said he was “not a big fan” of Zelenskyy and found the Ukrainian leader “more difficult to deal with than Putin.”
Zelenskyy, arriving in Brussels for talks with European Union leaders on Friday, did not directly address Trump’s remarks. He thanked the EU for its support and said Ukraine wanted to end the war quickly but was not seeing indications that Russia was ready to do so.
