Ukraine Strikes on Russia Refineries 'a Disgrace'
Trump said the resumed attacks could raise global energy prices as Zelensky ended a pause on strikes after Moscow kept hitting Ukraine's power grid.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace" in a Newsmax interview, claiming they are driving up global energy prices.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky resumed attacks after Moscow continued targeting Ukrainian energy facilities, violating a reciprocal "energy ceasefire" Trump had previously announced.
- Trump told Newsmax he finds Zelensky "more difficult to deal with than Putin," while the Ukrainian leader met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels to rally European support.
- Rejecting one-sided restrictions, Zelensky told The Financial Times the pause in refinery strikes was "done" because Moscow failed to honor the energy infrastructure truce.
- Energy analysts suggest the global price surge stems largely from the war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
