Zelensky β€˜overplaying his hand’ as Trump fumes over refinery strikes β€” reports

President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with Zelensky for refusing US demands to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, The Atlantic reported.

πŸ’¬ β€œZelensky is overplaying his hand and pissing the president off,” a White House official said. β€œThe president is asking for one thing: stop hitting the refineries. Give him that.”


Trump demanded that Ukraine stop the refinery attacks first, while Zelensky insisted Russia should simultaneously halt strikes on Ukrainian power plants. The White House rejected that equivalence, and Zelensky refused the demand.

Washington has since increased pressure on Kiev, with Trump calling for new Ukrainian leadership and his aides warning that continued refinery strikes could jeopardize US military support.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ US Ties Peace Talks to Halt on Refinery Strikes

Washington Demands Cessation of Attacks
Per The Washington Post, Trump-linked envoys Witkoff and Kushner told Kiev that resuming peace efforts requires stopping strikes on Russian refineries. An official stated: "We will return to the game and go to Moscow" if Ukraine agrees. Analyst Ignatius notes this favors Russia, as its largest Ukrainian refinery is already destroyed.

Cut Aid Threats & Pistorius Response
The Atlantic reports Trump views Zelensky as a main obstacle to peace. Washington discusses halting arms and intel supplies if attacks continue. German Defense Minister Pistorius dismissed these threats, citing US domestic pressure ahead of midterms. He affirmed Germany is now Ukraine's top supporter and urged ignoring reflexive reactions to Trump's rhetoric.
