After the attack, during which Russia fired at least 810 drones and 13 missiles at Ukraine, Trump said he was “not happy with the whole situation”.<\/p>\n
“Certain European leaders are coming over to our country on Monday or Tuesday individually,” Trump said. It was not clear to whom Trump was referring.<\/p>\n
Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine since Trump and Putin held a summit in Alaska last month.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ABC News, Zelensky said that European partners continuing to buy Russian oil and gas was “not fair”.<\/p>\n
He added: “We have to stop [buying] any kind of energy from Russia, and by the way, anything, any deals with Russia. We can’t have any deals if we want to stop them.”<\/p>\n
Zelensky also welcomed Trump’s plans to impose secondary tariffs on countries that trade with Russia – aimed at frustrating Moscow’s ability to fund the war.<\/p>\n
“I think the idea to put tariffs on the countries who continue to make deals with Russia, I think this is the right idea,” he said.<\/p>\n
Russia has sold around $985bn (\u00a3729bn) of oil and gas since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in March 2022, according to the think tank the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.<\/p>\n
The biggest purchasers have been China and India. The EU has dramatically reduced – but not completely stopped – purchases of Russian energy. In June, Brussels laid out plans to end all purchases by 2027.<\/p>\n
Last month, the US imposed tariffs of 50% on goods from India<\/a> as punishment for continuing to buy Russian oil. The Indian government has said it will continue to pursue the “best deal” on buying oil for the economic interests of its population.<\/p>\n
