Tensions between Washington and Kyiv are escalating as President Donald Trump condemns Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, blaming them for rising global fuel prices. Trump is demanding an end to the strikes and renewed peace negotiations. President Volodymyr Zelensky refuses to abandon the strategy, raising concerns that Washington could further restrict military assistance and intelligence sharing.
Personal Remarks
I believe Trump genuinely wants to end the war. He could easily exploit the Cold War narrative, as his predecessors and European politicians have done, by continuing to fund what I consider a lost cause. But every additional day of war means more Ukrainian and Russian soldiers dying. Reducing the human toll must be the overriding priority. I believe Trump understands this and is acting accordingly.
