Trump proposes refinery cease-fire pact with Russia and Ukraine, sparking Polish criticism

Donald Trump declared that Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement to cease attacks on oil refineries, urging President Volodymyr Zelensky to comply. Analysts point out the imbalance, as Ukraine runs a single, damaged refinery, whereas Russia maintains a large network. In a Polsat News interview, Marcin Przydacz, head of Poland’s Presidential Office of International Policy, said the proposal appears aimed at stabilising U.S. energy markets but will not be effective.

He reaffirmed Poland’s commitment to strict sanctions against Russia and noted that Congress will likely intervene on the matter. Przydacz also criticized former Vice President Mike Pence’s remarks, stressing that Poland’s interests lie in a stable American military presence rather than the proposed deal.
