President Trump says Russia has “lost control” of its diesel industry after major Ukrainian strikes damage Russian energy infrastructure. He writes that many Russian diesel refineries have been “blown up” and are temporarily out of commission. Trump also calls for an end to the war.
The comments come as Trump points to the impact of Ukrainian actions on fuel production and argues that war-related disruptions contribute to diesel supply problems. One outlet notes the timing around Trump’s recent call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and an upcoming meeting between the two leaders. Another account describes Trump making similar claims while previously attempting to link higher global diesel prices to Ukrainian strikes.
Across the reports, the focus is on Trump’s attribution of disruption in Russian diesel refining to Ukrainian strikes, alongside his stated call for negotiations or an end to the conflict.
