US President Trump said on the 15th that Ukrainian President Zelensky “does not want to resolve” the Ukrainian crisis; it is not worth the US dealing with it; reaching an agreement with Zelensky is more difficult than reaching an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In an interview with the US News Network at the White House on the same day, Trump said, “Zelensky is not a good person worth dealing with... He said he wanted to solve it, but this is not the case.” Trump said he was “not a big fan of Zelensky; they destroyed that country.” When talking about Ukraine's resumed crackdown on Russian refineries, Trump said that the US and the world need diesel. “When you attack refineries that produce diesel, then you're doing something bad for the world.”
