Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries do not affect global oil prices, - Zelensky responded to Trump's complaints
In an interview with TSN host Alla Mazur, the President of Ukraine said that strikes on Russian oil infrastructure are a response to the destruction of Ukrainian energy systems.
"They destroy your electricity, it hurts you. What hurts them? Oil, diesel, fuel. For Putin this is very painful. He is causing us great pain, and we are responding. This is a matter of justice," Zelensky explained.
Kyiv is ready to stop strikes on Russian refineries if Moscow stops attacking Ukrainian power systems. According to the president, that is how an energy truce could work.
Zelensky also said that he offered the US alternatives: to open access to Starlink in certain areas of the Russian Federation for strikes on ballistic missile launchers or to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles.
However, the president claims Ukraine received neither, and instead faced Starlink restrictions and a loosening of sanctions against Russia.
