Trump reveals peace deal in progress between Ukraine and Russia as he slams Zelensky for hurting oil markets

President Donald Trump has declared that major progress is being made toward ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, while launching a blistering attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for targeting Russian oil facilities and sending shockwaves through global diesel markets.

In a Truth Social tirade on Sunday afternoon, Trump insisted he was making headway in negotiations to end the four-and-a-half-year conflict, claiming a breakthrough could be jeopardized by fresh sanctions against Moscow.

But the president reserved his fiercest criticism for Zelensky, accusing the Ukrainian leader of prolonging the bloodshed while devastating energy markets and hurting American farmers, ranchers and businesses.

‘I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table,’ Trump wrote.

‘Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations!’

His dramatic intervention came as Ukraine unleashed one of its largest drone offensives of the war, sending more than 1,000 drones toward Russian territory and setting oil infrastructure ablaze in St. Petersburg.

Trump’s comments also offered his most forceful defense yet of his decision on Friday to block the immediate implementation of new sanctions against Russia, a move that has attracted bipartisan criticism.

‘My decision on Russia is a very simple one,’ he declared, insisting that further economic pressure risked driving Vladimir Putin away from peace negotiations.

‘Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want!’

Trump also linked his decision to the escalating confrontation with Iran, arguing that Moscow was currently offering Tehran far less assistance than it potentially could.

‘Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way,’ he wrote.

But it was Zelenskyy who faced the full force of the president’s anger.

Trump accused the Ukrainian leader of deliberately attacking Russian diesel refineries despite knowing the consequences for international fuel supplies.

‘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,’ he wrote.

‘Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this.’

The president claimed Russia was nevertheless supplying millions of barrels of diesel to global markets at discounted prices.

He offered no supporting figures for his claims about the economic impact of Ukraine’s attacks.

Trump then escalated his criticism into a deeply personal broadside against Zelensky, accusing him of having little interest in securing peace.

‘Zelensky 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,’ Trump declared.

‘He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now.’

The president painted a devastating picture of Ukraine’s position, describing its territory as shattered and its population decimated by years of fighting.

‘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 wrote.

He ended his post with an emphatic declaration: ‘I WANT THIS WAR END!’
