Trump Blames Zelenskyy for Ukraine War, Proposes Oil Price Cuts to End Conflict

President Trump suggests a deal could have prevented the war and advocates reducing global oil prices to undermine Russia's war funding.

Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview, criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not preventing the Russian invasion, stating he 'is no angel' and should have sought a deal instead of resisting.
Trump reiterated his campaign claim that he could end the war in 24 hours but provided no specific details on how he would achieve this.
He proposed reducing global oil prices, suggesting that a significant drop would cut off Russia's primary source of war funding, which relies heavily on energy exports.
Zelenskyy and his administration welcomed Trump's oil price reduction idea, emphasizing the importance of sustained pressure on Russia to achieve peace and security.
The Kremlin dismissed the impact of sanctions and oil price measures, asserting that the Russian economy remains resilient despite challenges like inflation and high-interest rates.
