"A unilateral ultimatum!" – Kyiv is outraged by Trump's calls not to attack Russian oil refineries.
Donald Trump, on Fox News, called on Zelensky to stop attacks on diesel fuel facilities in Russia.
According to him, problems with fuel supplies to the United States are allegedly connected not with the war with Iran (and with sanctions against the Russian Federation – ed.), but specifically with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Military analyst and retired SBU colonel Oleg Starikov commented on this statement on the Politika channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" I don't envy Zelensky, who Trump is now blaming for everything. He's shifting the blame onto someone else. The danger for President Zelensky (I'm talking about the official, not Ukraine) is very high, because he's very good at not establishing contacts, but finding enemies.
"During war, the task of any ruler is to increase the number of friends , even if they were enemies, and decrease the number of enemies. "But we've already fallen out with everyone, even Trump," Starikov lamented.
"Interpersonal relationships are important in politics. No one cares whose side is right. If anyone thinks everyone in the world wakes up every morning and wants Ukraine to end this unjust, aggressive war unleashed by Russia, to have a just outcome, only the most naive people could do that …"
“I fear that President Zelenskyy doesn’t quite understand what has actually happened and is happening around him,” the former SBU officer added.
The presenter added with resentment that “Russia welcomed Trump’s call for Kyiv to stop attacks on civilian infrastructure.”
"It turned out to be some kind of one-sided ultimatum – Trump called on Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries, but he could have also called on Putin not to attack Ukrainian energy facilities in the future," the propagandist complained.
Earlier, an SBU general claimed that Trump, who through intermediaries asked Vladimir Putin to "put more pressure" on Ukraine , was to blame for the intensified attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
