Donald Trump accused Volodymyr Zelensky of harming the world by ordering attacks on Russian oil refineries. During a telephone conversation, Trump told the Ukrainian president to stop attacking Russia's energy infrastructure.
Trump has expressed concern about the impact of these attacks on global energy markets and the rise in oil prices. The American president's position contrasts with the military support the United States has been providing to Ukraine.
Ukraine, in turn, faces regular attacks from Russia on its own energy infrastructure. Kyiv has been stating that Russian refineries are legitimate military targets, justifying the attacks as part of its defense against Russian aggression.
The tension between the two positions arises at a time when negotiations for a possible ceasefire agreement continue to be debated, with divergent views on which infrastructures can be considered legitimate targets during the conflict.
