Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy agreed on Wednesday (October 14) that he felt "betrayed" by US President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia, when he was asked in an interview show in London.

Zelenskiy criticized Trump’s approach to Russia, saying the US president should remain in the middle rather than move to what the Ukrainian leader called the “wrong side” of history.

The comments came after Trump reached a deal with Moscow allowing Russian diesel exports, a move that has drawn criticism from Ukraine and some of its allies.

Speaking about recent SpaceX’s Starlink restrictions possibly affecting some military operations in Ukraine, Zelenskiy warned that "people will die" while problems with Starlink service persisted.
