Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed not to attack energy targets
The President of the United States argues that it is the conflict in Ukraine, not the one in Iran, that has driven up the price of diesel.
US President Donald Trump has stated that the conflict in Ukraine, not Iran, is driving up diesel prices. He claimed that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop attacking each other's energy targets, with Ukraine agreeing not to target Russian energy assets and Russia reciprocating. Trump made this announcement on his social media platform, Truth, amid rising fuel prices in the US, which have been linked to the conflict in Ukraine that started with Russia's invasion in February 2022.
The development was welcomed by the Kremlin, with spokesperson Dmitri Peskov praising Trump's call for Ukraine to cease attacks on civilian economic infrastructure.
