Ukrainian President Zelenskiy accused U.S. President Trump of pressing Kyiv to
surrender to Russia, saying Trump has conditioned additional Patriot air-defense
missiles on Kyiv stopping strikes on Russian oil refineries. Zelenskiy said
Washington has also taken unfriendly steps including deliberate throttling of
Starlink bandwidth used by Ukrainian forces and delays in delivery of scarce
Patriot interceptors. He said he believes measures have been taken to persuade
Ukraine to capitulate and that it appears some U.S. partners may favor ending
the war faster even at Ukraine’s expense.
