Donald Trump, the president of the United States, again sharply criticized Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries and demanded to replace Volodymyr Zelensky with a new president in Ukraine.

On Saturday, October 18, Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that he told Zelensky to "do whatever you want, but don't target the refineries" in the war with Russia.

He added sharply: "He better stop this damn thing as soon as possible."

The US president then said that he believed that "it is time for Ukraine to have a new president" who would agree to end the war.

These statements were made a day after Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin to temporarily reduce sanctions on Russian diesel exports; According to him, the agreement was made in order to curb the sharp increase in fuel prices on the eve of the American elections. Zelensky called this agreement "gifts to the Kremlin" and warned that the income from the sale of Russian oil products could help continue the war against Ukraine.
