Former US President Donald Trump reportedly urged Ukraine to find a new leader capable of making deals, criticizing current President Volodymyr Zelensky for not doing so. Trump also reportedly accused Ukraine of attacking Russian oil refineries despite US requests to stop, citing global supply concerns.

Trump's remarks followed his announcement of Russian diesel fuel supplies to the US and global markets. The West reportedly met the decision with restraint, while Zelensky criticized it, stating Russia would respond with further 'terror and perfidy.' Analysts link a sharp rise in global fuel prices since February to US and Israeli operations in Iran, Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil.
