US official: Zelensky misjudged situation, continued strikes on Russian oil refineries

A US official said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky misjudged the situation and continued to target Russian oil refineries.

The official told Axios that former US President Donald Trump reached an agreement with Russia after Zelensky ignored demands made by the United States.

This followed six hours of US-European-Ukrainian talks in Miami, where negotiators hope to reach a deal to resolve the Ukraine crisis in the coming weeks.

The US president had reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to immediately release diesel to global markets. Putin agreed to supply 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by 500,000 tons in November, and an additional one million tons thereafter.
