Tensions have flared once again between the two leaders after Trump on Friday announced he would waive sanctions on a large quantity of Russian diesel to help lower fuel prices ahead of the November US midterm elections.
On Saturday, Trump lashed out at Zelensky over Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries, arguing they have contributed to soaring diesel prices, and called for him to be replaced by a leader that will settle the war.
