Une attaque russe à Zaporijjia a fait au moins 20 morts, samedi, dont trois enfants, au lendemain de l'annonce par le président américain Donald Trump d'un accord levant les sanctions sur le diesel russe. Dans la soirée, Donald Trump a ⁠critiqué les frappes ukrainiennes sur des raffineries russes et affirmé qu'il était "temps pour l'Ukraine d'avoir un nouveau président" en raison de son incapacité selon lui à mettre fin à la guerre avec la Russie.
