Trump Denounces Ukraine Refinery Strikes After Ceasefire Collapse

President Trump has publicly condemned Ukraine's resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries, labeling the actions a "disgrace." This statement follows the apparent collapse of a "so-called energy ceasefire" that Trump had declared the previous week. Neither Russia nor Ukraine had officially confirmed agreeing to this ceasefire, and Kyiv has since proceeded with attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

Trump's criticism extended to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom the former president described as "more difficult to deal with than Putin." The breakdown of the supposed ceasefire and Trump's strong reaction highlight the ongoing complexities and lack of consensus surrounding the conflict, even as the US administration grapples with other foreign policy challenges.
