Trump Calls for New Ukrainian President Amid Criticism of Zelenskyy and Russian Diesel Deal
US President Donald Trump called for Ukraine to elect a new president, criticizing Volodymyr Zelenskyy for failing to negotiate a peace deal with Russia and for Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. Trump linked these attacks to rising diesel prices and warned Zelenskyy to halt them, citing concerns over global fuel supplies. The remarks followed Trump's announcement of a diesel supply agreement with Russia, which Kyiv opposed, arguing it could fund Moscow's war efforts. Ukrainian officials have stated they will continue targeting Russian energy infrastructure despite US pressure.
