Trump Ukraine diesel — Former US President Donald Trump has called on Ukraine to halt its long-range strikes on Russia’s oil and gas industry, arguing the attacks are causing a diesel fuel shortage. Ukraine has for months targeted this sector, prompting fuel rationing across Russia and leading Moscow to ban diesel exports in July.

The campaign against Russian energy infrastructure is a key part of Kyiv’s strategy to degrade Moscow’s military logistics and economic base for the war. The strikes have had a tangible impact, with reports of domestic fuel shortages inside Russia.

Trump’s public appeal directly to Ukraine represents a notable political intervention, highlighting the ongoing debate over the scope and consequences of targeting Russia’s energy sector as the conflict continues.
