Trump says Ukraine should get a new president, blames Zelenskyy for diesel prices
President Trump said Ukraine should get a new president and rebuked Kyiv over strikes on Russian oil, while the Kremlin said peace talks would not resume right away.
President Trump said Ukraine should "get a new president," according to The New York Times. He criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil. CNBC and CBS News report that Trump blamed Zelenskyy for U.S. diesel prices.
The New York Times reports that, hours earlier, Trump said the United States would buy Russian diesel. The Kremlin then said talks to end the war would not restart immediately.
CNBC reports that Ukrainian and European officials reacted to the diesel deal with dismay on Saturday. They said it will help pay for Putin's war efforts.
Deutsche Welle reports that Trump faulted Zelenskyy for not making a deal with Russia to end the war. It says he also warned Kyiv against targeting Russian oil refineries.
CBS News says the criticism came after Russian strikes killed at least 20 people in Ukraine, including three children.
