Trump to Ukraine: Stop strikes on Russian diesel


US President Trump Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.Trump was asked by a reporter if he had spoken with Zelensky following his recent conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. “Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump told reporters. “Let him go after targets but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel fuel.”Ukrainian strikes have been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry for months, which Kyiv says both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s war. Meanwhile, two people were killed and 14 more injured Sunday near an oil and industrial hub in Russia’s Tatarstan.
