  • On Sunday, the Republican leader claimed negotiations were making "great progress," while targeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over attacks on Russian refineries that he said impact global crude rates.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Trump of pressuring Kyiv into surrendering to Russia, as relations between the two leaders continue to deteriorate despite Trump's ongoing defense of his peace efforts.
