President Trump Claims Ukraine and Russia Agree Not to Target Energy Facilities Amid Rising Diesel Prices
President Trump announced on his Truth Social network that Ukraine and Russia have agreed not to target each other's energy facilities. This claim comes a day after he criticized Kyiv for striking Russian oil refineries. President Trump stated, "Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise!" He attributed the global rise in diesel prices primarily to the Russia/Ukraine War, rather than the Iran war. The Ukrainian presidency declined to comment on President Trump's statement, and there was no immediate reaction from Moscow. President Trump had previously urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to cease attacks on Russian diesel fuel refineries, arguing that these strikes were causing a global shortage and hurting the world economy.
