United States President Donald Trump said he warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop attacking oil refineries in Russia. Trump made these statements on Sunday, on the sidelines of the Amgen Irish Open, held at his golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland.
According to Trump, Zelenskyy needs to stop destroying Russia's diesel production, as the attacks are causing a shortage of the fuel. The American president suggested that Ukraine attack other targets, but not diesel refineries.
A series of recent attacks has disrupted diesel refining in Russia and contributed to raising fuel prices to record levels, worsening the global fuel crisis.
Trump's comments come at a time when Russia and Ukraine are intensifying attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, as the war between the two countries continues. During the night, Ukrainian forces claimed attacks against refineries in Russia.
