Story summary

US President Donald Trump called for Ukraine to have a new leader, criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over attacks on Russian oil infrastructure and the latter's objections to a recent diesel deal with Russia that was aimed at reducing fuel prices in the US. Trump accused Zelenskyy of failing to end the war and creating problems by continuing strikes against Russian refineries, saying he "better damn well stop." The UK’s Defense Secretary Wes Streeting said Britain would stand behind Ukraine and its president amid growing tensions between Washington and Kyiv over this controversial agreement.
