Trump Condemns Ukraine’s Russian Refinery Strikes as a “Disgrace”
Ukraine’s renewed attacks on Russian refineries are a “disgrace” and will only lead to higher prices, President Donald Trump has said in comments about the latest Ukrainian attack of a Rosneft facility in Ryazan. “All he’s doing is making the world oil price higher. Well, I think that’s a disgrace,”
