“not the right side of history”
Reported October 15, 2026 by naroomanewsonline.com.au. Checked word for word against that report.
In an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized President Trump's deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, a U.S.-proposed halt to strikes on energy sites, and restrictions on Ukraine's use of Starlink terminals. Kyiv said it had followed Trump's call for that pause while Russian attacks continued, and Zelensky said Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries would resume. Ukrainian drones struck a refinery in Russia's Ryazan region, according to Russian officials and a Ukrainian official. Zelensky also said unnamed actors were pushing Trump toward a stance he rejected. He was due in Brussels for talks with European Union leaders amid concerns about U.S. support. Trump has said the United States has not stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
