Trump urges Ukraine to halt refinery strikes, citing Russia's diesel crisis

news18.com

President Donald Trump on Monday renewed calls to end the Ukraine-Russia war, urging Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries, citing damage to Russia's diesel industry and global fuel price pressures. Trump made the remarks ahead of a planned Tuesday meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York. He stated Russia had "lost control" of its diesel industry, with refineries "blown up" and offline, and described the war as "ridiculous." Ukraine has defended the refinery strikes as legitimate military targets. Trump's appeal follows a major Ukrainian drone assault on the Moscow region that reportedly damaged a major oil refinery.
