Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.

Ukraine’s long-range strikes have been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry for months, which Kyiv says both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s more than four-year-old invasion of its neighbor.

The Ukrainian drone campaign has caused fuel rationing across Russia, despite the country being a key oil and gas exporter. Other Ukrainian strikes targeted major Russian online retailers, bringing the war ever closer to the public.

    Part of being President of the United States is understanding the global scale of conflict and how our actions affect resources. Maybe you should have considered that when you provoked Iran, fucktard.

      It was a lot more than a provocation.
      It was an illegal attack of war and a war crime already on day 1.
