Neutral Summary

President Donald Trump has called for new leadership in Ukraine following a public disagreement with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over U.S.-brokered energy deals with Russia. Trump announced a deal with Moscow to lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports to lower global fuel prices, while simultaneously warning Ukraine to cease drone strikes on Russian refineries. Trump also claimed an 'energy ceasefire' had been reached, though Zelenskyy reported having no knowledge of such an agreement. Zelenskyy defended the strikes as a necessary defense against Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and suggested global fuel price increases are actually driven by the U.S. conflict with Iran.
