rbc.ua (Ukrainian)

During a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly asked to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries, according to Axios. Trump argued these attacks raise global diesel prices. The word "diesel" was mentioned many times during the conversation, a source familiar with the call told Axios. A Zelensky-Trump meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. This follows Trump signing a sanctions law against Russia and approving a major U.S.-Ukraine arms deal. Trump has previously made similar requests, and the Kremlin is preparing for talks with Trump's team.
