President Donald Trump said Saturday, Oct. 10, that Ukraine should stop attacking Russian oil refineries and called for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to be replaced amid U.S. efforts to promote an energy ceasefire. Trump made the comments one day after announcing an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to boost diesel exports. He also said the U.S. Treasury Department would issue a waiver, without specifying its terms. The remarks came as Washington continued discussing a possible process involving the United States, Russia and Ukraine. The discussions have included an energy ceasefire covering attacks on infrastructure. Zelenskyy has previously said Ukraine was prepared to halt attacks on energy infrastructure if Russia stopped striking Ukrainian energy and water systems. The position was part of broader efforts involving a possible three-way negotiation process.
