Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall Says the Ukraine War, Not the Iran War, Has Caused High Diesel Prices – WTOP News
The Republican senator linked fuel costs to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as diesel averaged $6.32 a gallon this week, according to AAA.
- On Wednesday, Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Adam Hamilton debated at WDAF in Kansas City, where Marshall blamed Ukraine's war with Russia for high diesel prices, aligning with President Donald Trump.
- Diesel averaged $6.32 a gallon this week, significantly up from $3.62 a gallon a year ago, straining Kansas's agricultural economy; Hamilton argues these prices result from an "unnecessary" war with Iran waged by Trump.
- Trump claims Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries cause high fuel costs, suggesting importing Russian diesel to alleviate the problem; Marshall initially balked, saying "it doesn't sound like a great idea," but indicated support if it ends the war.
- Hamilton sharply criticized Marshall, saying "nobody believes" Ukraine is to blame, warning that favoring Russian imports would "sell out our friends in Ukraine," while Marshall accused Hamilton of supporting Green New Deal policies that prevent building new refineries.
- The final debate preceded the November 3 election, where Marshall seeks a second term in a close race; a Democrat has not won a Kansas Senate seat since 1932, making this contest pivotal.
