Trump says Russia has lost control of its diesel industry, calls for end to Ukraine war

Trump said Russian refinery strikes are worsening a global diesel shortage and pushing prices higher as he urged an end to the war.

  • President Donald Trump stated on Monday that Russia has "unfortunately lost control" of its diesel industry due to Ukrainian strikes, saying the war is "hurting the world" and must end.
  • Over the weekend, Ukrainian forces launched more than 1,000 drones against oil and logistics facilities near Moscow; Russian officials claimed air defenses destroyed 1,110 drones in response.
  • U.S. retail diesel prices have climbed above $6.50 per gallon as global supplies tighten, while Trump asserted 25,000 people, mostly soldiers, are being killed monthly in the conflict.
  • Trump is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York to discuss air defense support and de-escalation steps.
  • Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine's energy infrastructure "must stop being targets for Russia," insisting that energy sites remain legitimate military targets while defending Kyiv's strike strategy against Moscow.
