Trump Calls for New Ukrainian President Amid Diesel Deal and Refinery Strike Dispute
US President Donald Trump called for Ukraine to elect a new president, criticizing Volodymyr Zelenskyy for failing to secure a peace deal with Russia and for Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. Trump linked these attacks to rising global diesel prices and announced a deal with Russia to supply diesel fuel. Zelenskyy condemned the deal, calling it a gift to Moscow, and offered to halt refinery strikes if Russia stopped attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The dispute has heightened tensions between Washington and Kyiv, with European officials and Ukraine urging continued pressure on Russia. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham expressed solidarity with Zelenskyy amid the diplomatic friction.
