Zelenskyy 'Doesn't Want to End This War', Trump Says
Trump said he is trying to keep Russia at the bargaining table while easing sanctions to curb fuel prices and assess their economic impact.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump defended his decision to waive sanctions on Russia, accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war. Trump signed the executive order late Friday to avoid driving Moscow from the bargaining table.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social that he is 'in the process of negotiating Peace,' claiming Zelenskyy 'doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did.' He also waived sanctions on Russian diesel to stabilize fuel prices ahead of midterm elections.
- Warning Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine cannot prevail if the United States backs Moscow, calling a withdrawal of support 'a historic mistake' and saying, 'We cannot applaud when someone turns against Ukraine.'
- Russian strikes left 'tens of thousands' of Ukrainians without power, while Zelenskyy accused Moscow of violating Trump's 'energy ceasefire' 76 times. Late Sunday, Ukraine launched drones at an oil refinery in Saint Petersburg, killing one person, according to Moscow.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the sanctions pause as necessary to assess economic impacts, as Republicans face potential losses amid voter frustration over fuel prices that have surged since the Iran war began in February 2026.
