President Donald Trump called for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to be replaced, citing Zelensky's refusal to reach a peace deal and his continued strikes on Russian oil refineries. This demand coincided with a U.S. agreement to lift sanctions on Russian diesel fuel in exchange for market supplies intended to lower domestic energy prices. Trump criticized Zelensky for causing 'world problems' by targeting energy infrastructure, while some members of his own party expressed concern that easing sanctions would benefit Russia's military efforts.
