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.

The irony is lost on him, isn't it?

No, he runs on lies and cult of personality. Making it every one elses fault and lying to his constituents is his MO.

I didn't see him give any reason, apart from his royal say so, why Ukraine should.

Isn't Russian fuel sanctioned or some shit? How would fuel the US supposedly doesn't buy going to cause shortages? As opposed to the fucking straight that's shut down because of operation Epstein distraction?
