BBloomberg NewsOriginal★★★☆☆2026-10-19 06:30
Tensions on the diplomatic front between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump have also complicated Ukraine’s war efforts.
Zelenskyy says Trump is forcing Ukraine to capitulate to Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the U.S. formally siding with Russia’s Vladimir Putin would be a “historic mistake.” With the midterms just over two weeks away, a new NBC News poll finds 71% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track, with voters particularly unhappy about the economy and gas prices.
Trump defended recent decisions on Russia, including waiving sanctions, a diesel deal and pressure on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries. He said he was pursuing peace talks and accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war, describing Ukraine as devastated, deprived of much of its land and suffering severe losses among its male population.
US President Donald Trump said negotiations to settle the conflict in Ukraine are making “great progress.” He said he did not want to do anything that might foolishly drive Russia away from the bargaining table.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is preparing diplomatic steps to end the war with Russia and remains in near-constant contact with Washington despite a dispute with Donald Trump. He said talks with US envoys focused on discussions in Florida and what comes next, and thanked the US for resuming intelligence sharing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of trying to force Kyiv to surrender to Russia, intensifying a dispute with the US president that has lasted a week.
Ukraine is meanwhile moving ahead with plans for European alternatives to US-made air defence systems and Starlink satellite communications, with talks already under way.

Trump said waiving sanctions would keep Moscow at the negotiating table and accused Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy said he had spoken with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about diplomacy, as Russia and Ukraine continued strikes on each other’s energy sites.
Donald Trump defended waiving some sanctions on Russia, saying he did not want to push Moscow away from peace talks, and accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war. Zelenskyy warned Ukraine would not prevail if the United States backed Russia, calling such a shift a “historic mistake.”
US President Donald Trump said he could tighten sanctions on Russia whenever he chooses. He had earlier taken 60 days to assess the economic impact of Russia-related sanctions and tariffs on other countries. A law tightening measures against Russian officials and state-owned companies also provides for higher tariffs, which the US administration may choose not to impose if it deems them contrary to US interests.
Trump said he suspended several Russia sanctions to keep Moscow at the negotiating table, blocking them two days before they were due to take effect. He accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war, while Zelensky said siding with Putin would be a historic mistake.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rejected claims that Washington’s recent actions favored Russia and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to be careful with his statements. Bessent said the Trump administration waived sanctions that had not taken effect rather than lifting them.
