Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns U.S. President Donald Trump that siding with Russia would be a 'historic mistake', amid a severe crisis between Kyiv and Washington. In an interview with NBC, Zelenskyy said he still sees Trump as an ally, but made clear that Ukraine cannot withstand a situation where the U.S. and Russia act together. These remarks come amid the cancellation of new sanctions against Russia, the freezing of American intelligence sharing, and restrictions on SpaceX's Starlink system. Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will resume strikes on oil refineries in Russia, after temporarily suspending them at Trump's request, claiming that Russia continued to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He expressed hope for a conversation with the American negotiating team and a meeting in the coming days, while emphasizing the importance of the strategic partnership with Washington.
