U.S. President Donald Trump publicly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop attacks on Russian facilities that produce diesel fuel.
Trump said Ukrainian strikes had caused significant fuel disruptions in Russia and, in his view, were contributing to reduced global diesel supplies and higher prices.
Ukraine considers Russian oil-refining facilities to be targets connected to supplying the Russian military and financing the war.
Trump’s appeal was one of Washington’s most direct public demands that Kyiv change its tactics against Russian energy infrastructure.
