Trump exploded after Ukraine reclaimed attacks on Russian refineries: "It is a disgrace"

Trump is outraged after Ukraine recaptured attacks on Russian refineries: "It is a shame" Ukraine's recapture of attacks on Russian refineries is a "shame" that keeps global energy prices at a high level, stated US President Donald Trump to the news agency Newsmax in an interview broadcast Thursday, according to Reuters. Ukraine attacked a Russian refinery after President Vladimir Zelensky declared that Kyiv renounces the energy objectives that Trump announced and criticized his availability to conclude agreements with Moscow. "All he does is raise the global price of oil. Well, I think that is a shame," said Trump in the interview after Ukraine hit a Rosneft refinery located southeast of Moscow, which contributes to the capital's supply. "There are a lot of targets you can hit, but when you drag the refineries, where gasoline is produced, and we need it, and the world needs it, then he is not doing a good service to the world," said the leader from the White House. Trump: "I am not a big admirer of Zelensky" Russia launched a barrage of missiles and drone attacks, targeting energy facilities such as power plants, cutting off the energy supply to hundreds of thousands of people, and Zelensky stated to the Financial Times that Ukraine's patience has run out. The Trump administration tried to mediate a ceasefire agreement to end the war that began with Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He repeated for Newsmax his conviction that Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin hate each other, which makes concluding the conflict difficult. "I am not a big admirer of Zelensky," said Trump. "I think, in fact, both would want to see the conflict ended, but it seems to me that Zelensky is more difficult to manage than Putin," added the Republican leader. While Trump was pressuring Kyiv to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries, Ukraine faced a reduction in the capacity of a satellite system it depends on for communications on the battlefield and drone operations. The order came from within the White House; two American officials and one Western official were informed about this matter, without specifying who made the decision or who was responsible for implementing the order.
