U.S. President Donald Trump calls on Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian diesel-related facilities, saying the attacks are disrupting fuel supplies and contributing to diesel shortages and higher prices. Multiple outlets report Trump makes the remarks publicly, directing his message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The reporting broadly agrees Ukraine has targeted Russia’s oil and gas industry with long-range strikes, with several outlets linking those attacks to rationing or fuel disruptions inside Ukraine. PBS and other sources also note that Moscow has taken measures affecting diesel trade, including a diesel export ban in July, which they say further strains global supply.

Outlets also differ slightly in emphasis: some frame the issue mainly as rising costs in the United States, while others focus more directly on global market impacts. The Kremlin response, reported by Cyprus Mail, welcomes Trump’s call but attributes wider energy-market upheaval largely to other regional factors, including conflict in the Gulf.
