According to a report by the Financial Times, as cited by tradealpha, former U.S. President Donald Trump is continuing to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries. The report indicates that Trump is urging a halt to these military operations, which are part of Ukraine's strategy to disrupt Russian energy infrastructure and logistics supporting its invasion. The pressure from Trump, who has previously expressed skepticism about continued U.S. aid to Ukraine, suggests a potential shift in policy if he were to return to office, aiming to de-escalate the conflict or alter Ukraine's military tactics. The report does not specify the exact timing or channels of this pressure, nor Zelenskyy's response.
