Ukraine's resumption of strikes on Russian refineries is 'disgrace', Trump says

Trump said the strikes are pushing up global energy prices as Kyiv ends a three-day pause and resumes attacks on Russian refineries.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump called Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries a "disgrace" in a Newsmax interview, claiming they drive up global energy prices.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky resumed the attacks after Moscow continued targeting Ukrainian energy facilities, breaching 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.
  • 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, rather than refinery strikes.
