Ukraine will stop hitting refineries if Russia halts energy attacks, Zelenskyy says
Zelenskyy said the pause would need to be mutual and backed by real guarantees as Kyiv faces pressure over attacks on Russian energy sites.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries, demanding the Ukrainian leader stop the attacks and suggesting he be replaced.
- Washington confirmed Friday it secured a deal with Moscow to ease sanctions on Russian diesel in exchange for supply to global markets, fueling the administration's adversarial stance toward Ukraine.
- Trump claimed the strikes threaten "our farmers, our ranchers" by disrupting global diesel supply. Tesla CEO Elon Musk echoed the comments, writing: "I agree, time for Ukraine to get a new leader."
- Responding on Sunday, Zelensky insisted Russia alone is responsible for the war and stated Kyiv would suspend refinery attacks only if Moscow stops targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
- Reporting 23 deaths from Russian strikes in Zaporizhzhia on Friday, Zelensky vowed to continue defending Ukraine and arrange the provision of "additional defense packages" with European allies.
