Trump: Zelensky promised to weaken strikes on Russian refineries

U.S. President Donald trump during communication with journalists said that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to ease the strikes on oil refineries in Russia to stabilize world energy prices.

Donald Trump explained that the rise in prices is not only due to the conflict in the Middle East. The main problem is that oil refineries are blowing up in Russia. This is not exactly a Middle East problem. This is more of a problem between Ukraine and Russia, Donald Trump said (quoted by Fox News).

I spoke with President Zelensky. I said you need to ease your strikes on refineries. He said, "We're probably going to do that because we're creating problems, world problems." There are other things he can do, Trump said.

Donald Trump did not specify during which meeting Vladimir Zelensky promised to weaken the strikes on Russian refineries. The last time the presidents of the United States and Ukraine met on September 22 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
