Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that only Russia was responsible for the war in his country. He said Ukraine would halt strikes on Russian oil refineries if Moscow stopped hitting Ukraine’s energy grid, after Donald Trump blamed him for high diesel prices and said it was time for Ukraine to get a new leader.

The exchange came as Kyiv pressed its campaign against infrastructure deep inside Russia, with a drone attack on Sunday shutting down a data center run by Russian technology giant Yandex, the third strike on the company’s facilities in four days. Russia and Ukraine are locked in a long-range aerial war while their armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line, more than 4 1/2 years since Moscow’s full-scale invasion.

“Ukraine will be ready to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops striking our energy infrastructure,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.

    Trump is probably pissed that he is losing many of his online supporters in the last hours…

    Zelensky should not stop bombing refineries in Russia. Fuck what Trump says to him. Russia should not be making money off of this war.

    Donnie is repeating the “Ukraine is the cause of high prices” lie so often it’s hard to tell if he believes it or just thinks the people are stupid enough to.

      His remaining cut members have latched onto the gas prices are high because of Ukraine narrative very quickly, based on some interviews I’ve seen. They want to believe because it’s uncomfortable for them to criticize him

    At this point Ukraine has nothing to lose anymore. I hope they blow up every little bit of oil infrastructure Russia has and then all the Yandex data centers and all of Putin’s palaces.

      targeting yandex datacenters would hurt just as much as thier oil infastructure, im surprised they dint target it early on.

        They probably held off previously because they categorized it as critical infrastructure, but now that Russia has been assholes targeting their critical infrastructure its on the table now.
