Font size

Ukrainian President Zelensky said that as long as Russia no longer attacks Ukraine's energy facilities, Ukraine is also willing to stop attacks on Russian refineries.

U.S. President Trump once again pressed Ukraine on Saturday to stop attacking Russian oil refineries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded today (11th) that Ukraine is also willing to stop attacking Russian oil refineries as long as Russia no longer attacks Ukrainian energy facilities.

In response to Trump's call, Zelensky once again mentioned Ukraine's consistent position that as long as Russia stops attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, Russian refineries will not suffer. However, he pointed out that to achieve such an agreement, there must be "real guarantees."

Zelensky also emphasized: "The real cause of the war in Europe is Russia, and this is the only reason. It is possible to stop attacks on energy facilities as early as today, but Vladimir Putin is unwilling."

In an interview on Saturday, Trump pointed out that Ukraine's attack on Russian oil refineries was the main reason for the rise in U.S. oil prices, and even named Zelensky as a "better damn well stop" attack on oil refineries. He later said that Zelensky should step down because several opportunities to negotiate peace with Russia have been missed.

Open Questions

  • What is the specific form of the so-called "real guarantee"?
  • Will Russia respond to this proposal?

The German Parliament's "China Committee" recommends that the EU must prepare tougher trade policy tools against China

An expert committee commissioned by the German Bundestag issued a report recommending that the EU have the ability to retaliate in trade disputes and use access to the European single market as a bargaining chip to balance China. The report believes that the economic dependence between Germany and China has deepened, and the original strategy of "partners, competitors and institutional rivals" has become ineffective.
