Donald Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of not wanting to end the war after a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian oil terminal. The US president said he wanted to continue negotiations with Moscow, according to his statements on Truth Social.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of obstructing an end to the war, after Ukrainian drones attacked a Russian oil terminal, Egypt Independent reports.

The attack, carried out overnight on Saturday, was among Ukraine’s largest drone strikes against Russia this year. It came after Donald Trump had asked Kyiv to stop targeting Russian energy infrastructure. Tensions between Washington and Kyiv have increased after Trump exempted Russia from economic sanctions planned by the US Congress. Volodymyr Zelensky called any US alignment with Moscow a “historic mistake” in an interview with NBC News.
