Trump urges Zelenskyy to halt attacks on oil refineries—whose rising diesel costs will ultimately be borne by whom?

Trump Pressured Zelenskyy via Phone Call: Stop Attacking Russian Refineries, Diesel Prices Can't Bear the Burden

According to sources cited by Axios, U.S. President Trump, during a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urged Kyiv to cease attacks on Russian refineries.

The media source stated: “Trump repeatedly asked Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian refineries.” The report noted: “These strikes have contributed to a rise in global diesel prices.” According to the source, the term “diesel” was mentioned multiple times during the call.

Previously, Zelenskyy himself had indicated that following the phone conversation, both parties agreed to hold a meeting in New York.

Records from the American Automobile Association (AAA) show that the average U.S. diesel price reached a new high on September 20 — approaching $6.51 per gallon (3.79 liters). This compares to approximately $6.20 per gallon one week earlier.
