Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia have agreed not to hit energy targets. In posts, he also links recent global diesel price increases primarily to the Russia-Ukraine war, rather than to Iran.
The outlets reporting the claim frame it as part of Trump’s broader commentary on global energy markets. CNBC and The Express Tribune both repeat the same core assertions: that a non-targeting understanding exists between the two sides and that the main driver of diesel price pressures is the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, not Iranian involvement.
Neither outlet provides additional details on the terms, timing, or verification of the alleged agreement, nor does either report include direct statements from Ukraine, Russia, or independent energy analysts. The reports therefore focus on Trump’s remarks rather than confirming the underlying developments.
