Zelensky Offers to Pause Attacks on Russian Refineries if US Provides Missiles
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine would halt attacks on Russian oil refineries if the US supplied Patriot interceptor missiles, a key demand from US President Donald Trump to reduce energy site strikes amid rising inflation. Zelensky emphasized Ukraine's need to respond to Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure and noted that while the US approved the sale of 500 Patriot missiles, delivery could take years. He expressed openness to sharing this truth with US partners without concern about leveraging.
