  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to cease targeting Russian diesel fuel, stating the strikes are causing a global shortage. The issue arose after diesel prices in the U.S. reached a record high of over $6 per gallon. Ukraine has been striking Russia's oil and gas industry with long-range missiles, leading to fuel rationing and Moscow banning diesel exports in July. Global diesel shortages have also been exacerbated by the war in Iran disrupting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said Zelenskyy must stop targeting Russian diesel fuel, as it is causing a worldwide shortage, though there are numerous other viable targets.",
  "summary": "KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a global shortage. He spoke after diesel prices in the U.S. hit a record on Friday, soaring past $6 a gallon on average.",
