US responds to Ukraine criticism over Russia diesel deal, Starlink outage

To the war in Ukraine, with more disagreements between the U.S. and Kyiv, Ukraine's president has publicly criticized the White House on a Russian diesel deal and a Starlink outage. Fox News reporter Stephanie Bennett explains how President Trump is responding. There's a growing rift between Ukraine and the U.S., and it's getting worse. On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at President Trump over America's purchase of Russian diesel and the interruption of critical Starlink internet service in Ukraine. Zelensky's frustration was visible as he accused President Trump of trying to play both sides. So many times from the president of the United States, they have to stop killing. Yes, Russia is killing us on our territory. They came on our land. Russia says the remarks along with President Trump's claim that Zelensky is hard to deal with are proof Ukraine isn't serious about making a peace deal. The fact that this is such a direct and indeed crude challenge to President Trump is, in my view, something everybody already understands. And with American support in question, Ukraine is turning to Europe, which says it wants to bring Washington back to the fight. But some officials are calling the process, quote, difficult. We are trying to convince also our American partners that if we want to end this war, then we have to squeeze the aggressor. President Trump is defending the diesel deal and says he'll keep pushing both Kiev and Moscow to get back to the bargaining table. They're hitting each other, but it'll all come to an end. They both want it to come to an end. They just don't know how to get there. The Trump administration is pushing back on reports that put limits on Ukraine's use of the Starlink system, saying the order didn't come from the White House. In London, Stephanie Bennett, Fox News.
