Zelensky: I have a bet to stop attacks on Russian infrastructure / Trump loves Putin

The president of Ukraine, who is angry about the gas deal between Moscow and Washington, said that the president of the United States is in love with his Russian counterpart.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Financial Times on Thursday morning: "Kiev will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries." The restriction on attacks on refineries was lifted; it's over

He said he would only agree to stop attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure if, in return, he received more interceptor missiles for the American-made Patriot systems. He considered the provision of these missiles as the "minimum" acceptable score to stop the attacks.

Regarding the Russian-American diesel agreement and the American side's recent claim of an energy ceasefire, the Ukrainian president claimed: "I told my military people that during the energy ceasefire, we will not attack Russian refineries or anything related to diesel because even if we are right, which we are, someone will say that we have violated the energy ceasefire." I don't want to play this game. That is why for three days, we did not attack any of Russia's energy or diesel infrastructure.

He added: We do not want to be involved in any diesel deal. I don't want to get involved. If Russia attacks us, we will respond. This is our law. Do not involve us in any diesel deal.

"I will not attack Russia because the United States asked me not to, but Russia will attack me," Zelensky said, bringing up his old request for Patriot missiles. If the US gives me something to defend, it's fair. That's the minimum I want and when I ask, their answer is to block Starlink.

Zelensky said: I think that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is a man who speaks openly and loudly about this issue; That he loves and respects people like Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The president of Ukraine further emphasized: For Trump, people who can be leaders for 20, 30, 40 years means that they are very strong, because they can hold power.

"We received a message saying don't attack because there might be a problem with receiving and sending information," Zelensky said of some media reports that Washington has threatened to cut off information exchange with Kiev. I can say that the Americans said that there are technological problems at some level, but at the military level they already said that if we don't stop, they will block the information. When this issue is combined with Starlink's decision, which was 100% the American side's decision, it creates big problems.

Although Donald Trump said in his latest statement that the United States will continue to share information with Ukraine, an administration official told Semaphore on Wednesday evening that the idea is being actively discussed within the White House.

In addition, an informed official, who did not reveal his identity, told Politico on Tuesday evening: the Americans told the Ukrainians that no warning was given about the Russian missile launch due to bad weather conditions; A justification that is not considered as a sufficient reason in Kiev, and therefore many are worried that this may not have happened at all.
