In brief

Ukraine's president said the dispute was not personal and warned that lifting sanctions would strengthen Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his differences with US President Donald Trump concerned policy towards Russia rather than personal relations, according to UNIAN's October 22 account of his CNN interview.

Zelensky opposed lifting sanctions, saying that doing so would strengthen Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also said Putin had no intention of stopping the war.

He criticised Trump's decision to enter a deal to buy Russian fuel, arguing that it undermined international efforts to isolate Russia. UNIAN's report did not specify the deal's terms or legal status, or the exact date of the interview.
