U.S. President Donald Trump seems to have blamed Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, saying he was “disappointed” that the Ukrainian president complained about being frozen out of U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia on ending the war.

Trump did not clarify what he meant, but he has often blamed the war on Ukraine's desire to join NATO.…

Oil news - Wed, 02/19/2025 - 19:00
