Trump Urges Ukraine to Halt Strikes on Russian Diesel Refineries Amid Fuel Shortages
US President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel refineries and related infrastructure, citing concerns that these attacks are causing a global diesel shortage and driving up fuel prices. Trump made the remarks during the Irish Open at his Doonbeg golf club, emphasizing that while Ukraine can target other sites, diesel facilities should be spared to avoid worsening supply constraints. The strikes have led to fuel rationing in Russia and contributed to record-high diesel prices in the US amid ongoing conflict and disruptions in global oil markets.
