Trump says Russia lost control of diesel output as Ukraine strikes hit refineries

tagesspiegel.de (German)

President Trump claimed Russia has lost control of its diesel production due to exploding refineries, citing severe economic problems from the Ukraine war. He demanded an end to the "endless war." While a complete loss of control is unverified, Ukraine has expanded long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities this year, causing significant damage. Russia restricted diesel and gasoline sales and banned diesel exports until January 2027. Russia faces broader economic strain from high inflation and a growing deficit. Trump is pressuring Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to halt refinery attacks, as US diesel prices hit a record $6.50 per gallon.
