Trump claims Zelensky is more difficult to deal with than Putin and argues that the refinery attacks are driving up energy prices. Zelensky responded that he is standing up solely for the interests of the Ukrainian people, asserting that Ukraine has the right to defend itself after being attacked and occupied. EU leaders in Brussels have pledged continued support for Kyiv as the relationship between the Ukrainian president and the US leader deteriorates.
