Fuel supply: Trump to Zelensky: No attacks on Russian refineries
The US President is looking for the cause of rising diesel prices in Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries. But the Iran war is also driving prices up - and that's a problem for Trump.
US President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacking Russian refineries, blaming him for a global diesel shortage. Trump stated that Zelensky's actions are harming the world by disrupting diesel supplies. The US has already discussed the issue with Zelensky. Ukraine has increased its attacks on Russian oil industry targets in recent months, causing significant disruptions, with oil processing at its lowest level in over 20 years.
The situation is contributing to rising fuel prices, a concern for Trump ahead of the US midterm elections.
