Trump Urges Ukraine to Halt Strikes on Russian Diesel Amid Global Fuel ShortagePreviousNext

US President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop strikes on Russian diesel fuel infrastructure, citing a global diesel shortage worsened by these attacks. Ukraine has targeted Russian oil refineries to disrupt Moscow's war funding, while Russia has retaliated with drone strikes on Ukrainian cities. The conflict has contributed to rising diesel prices worldwide, with US prices reaching record highs. Both sides continue military actions amid ongoing tensions and calls for peace talks.
