Zelenskyy feels betrayed by the US
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy feels betrayed by Trump.
This follows the US agreement to purchase Russian diesel.
"This is not the right side of history," Zelenskyy said regarding the deal.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he feels betrayed by the US and President Donald Trump following the agreement to purchase Russian diesel.
However, he emphasizes that the situation is complicated.
"Painful"
The statement was made during an interview with British TV personality Piers Morgan—an interview reported by the news agency Reuters.
"It is painful when President Trump chooses a side, and not our side," says Zelenskyy.
He elaborated on the role he believes Trump should play in the conflict. Anyone who has taken on the role of mediator must also remain in the middle, he argued.
"If you are in the middle, you have to stay in the middle."
New attacks this week
Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, was subjected to Russian missile attacks on both Monday and Tuesday without the population receiving any early warning.
Overnight into Wednesday, three people were killed and 21 injured when a residential building was hit. A power plant was also struck.
Last Saturday, President Donald Trump stated that Zelenskyy could have stopped the war several times and that it is time for a new election in Ukraine.
Also disappointed in Musk
Zelenskyy's disappointment is directed not only at Trump but also at Elon Musk. This follows indications that Musk's company, SpaceX, has restricted Starlink access for the Ukrainian military.
On Wednesday morning, Serhiy Beskrestnov, an advisor to President Zelenskyy, described how connectivity to Starlink satellites appeared to have been severely restricted.
The service reportedly stopped working for Starlink terminals moving faster than 160 kilometers per hour, resulting in connection outages of up to half a minute. This affects, among other things, the drones Ukraine uses to strike targets in Russian-held areas of the country—something *Aftonbladet* has previously reported on.
Reports: Ship has sunk in the Strait of Hormuz
A cargo ship sank on Wednesday after striking a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the Spanish news agency EFE reports.
According to the Revolutionary Guard, the ship was attempting to take an "unauthorized" route through the Strait of Hormuz.
"A container ship attempting to navigate a dangerous and unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz caught fire shortly after striking a naval mine," the Revolutionary Guard stated, as reported by the state-run Iranian news agency Mehr.
According to the Revolutionary Guard, the ship was carrying over 2,500 containers, which are now adrift in the strait.
There is no information regarding the condition of the crew.
