Summary
President Trump said Saturday that Ukraine should get "a new leader who can make a deal," after President Zelensky criticized a US deal to import Russian diesel, which Zelensky said would help fund Russia's war and called "not fair and not honest" and a "birthday gift" to Putin. A US official said the deal followed Zelensky ignoring requests to stop striking Russian refineries. The Kremlin said talks would not immediately resume.
