The President of the United States, Donald Trump, asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this Sunday to stop attacking diesel fuel facilities in Russia. According to the information reported, Trump considered that these attacks are causing a fuel shortage.
Trump stated that Ukraine should focus its attacks on other military targets, rather than Russian fuel facilities. The request comes at a time when relations between the two countries have been marked by tensions, with Trump repeatedly pressuring Ukraine to accept a ceasefire agreement with Russia.
This is not the first time Trump has expressed opposition to Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory. The American president has been advocating an approach that prioritizes peace negotiations over deeperative military operations against Russian energy targets.
Trump's position contrasts with Ukraine's military strategy, which has used attacks on energy and fuel facilities as a way to weaken Russia's war effort and limit the logistical capacity of Moscow's forces.
