🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺 TRUMP WANTS THE REFINERY WAR PAUSED. ZELENSKYY WON’T DISARM UNILATERALLY.

Zelenskyy says Donald Trump pressed him on Ukraine’s strikes against Russian diesel refineries and other energy infrastructure as Washington explores an energy ceasefire.

Kyiv’s answer: restraint has to work both ways.

“If Putin attacks us, we respond,” Zelenskyy said. He argued that Ukraine’s ability to hit back is part of why Russia has failed to conquer the country: “We are not weak.”

At the same time, another potentially major shift is taking shape. Zelenskyy says Raytheon is ready to support licensed Patriot interceptor production for Ukraine, with Kyiv asking Trump to accelerate approval. He estimates domestic production could begin in roughly one to one-and-a-half years.

Diplomacy remains on the table too. Zelenskyy says he is prepared for a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin whenever all sides are ready, while arguing that Moscow still has not demonstrated the same willingness to stop the war.

He also accused Putin of trying to frighten European societies and fracture unity between Europe and the United States through pressure and provocations.

The formula Kyiv is offering is increasingly explicit: reciprocal restraint, stronger air defense, and no expectation that Ukraine simply stops hitting back while Russia keeps firing.
