Trump: Zelensky Does Not Want to End the War, No New Restrictions on Russia

US President Donald Trump defended his decision not to impose new restrictions on Russia in his latest post on the social platform Truth Social. He said he does not want to push Moscow away from peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

In the same post, Trump turned on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and accused him of continuing the war. According to the US president, Zelensky does not want to end it.

Trump also criticised Ukraine for attacks on Russian oil refineries.

What it means

The post shows that the US leader is choosing, for now, not to pressure Moscow with new restrictions while criticising Kyiv. The source gives no further details on which restrictions were considered or when the next talks might take place, so those questions remain open.
