US President Trump posted on social media on the 18th criticizing Ukraine's attack on Russian diesel refineries, saying that Ukrainian President Zelensky probably never thought of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump wrote in the post: “Zelensky is targeting Russian diesel refineries, knowing that these attacks are seriously damaging the world diesel market, including the US diesel market. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds have suffered huge losses, yet Russia is still sending millions of barrels of diesel to the world at low prices.” Trump said Zelensky didn't care about this at all. “Frankly speaking, Europe gave him so much money, and they also gave him money in the past. He didn't want to end this war, and he probably never wanted to end it.” Trump also said that Zelensky could have reached a better agreement two years ago than now. “Today, his country is in ruins, a large area of land has fallen, sea borders have been lost, the male population has declined sharply, and a large number of people have been injured or killed.” Trump said he is promoting peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and that “significant progress is being made in the negotiations.” Trump has criticized Zelensky several times recently. Trump said on the 15th that Zelensky “does not want to resolve” the Ukrainian crisis and is not worth dealing with by the US.
