US President Donald Trump has accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of never having wanted to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

Quote: "Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World.

Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did."

Details: Trump said that Zelenskyy "could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now".

The US president also once again referred to certain oceans that Ukraine had supposedly lost.

"His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead," Trump said.

The US president said he is negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia and does not want to do anything that "will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table".

He claimed that "great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations".

Trump also said that Russia is doing "very little, if anything" to help Iran compared with what it could be doing.

"And I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way," the US president added.

Background: On 18 October, Zelenskyy accused Trump of trying to pressure Ukraine into capitulating to Russia and delaying deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems.
