Trump urges Zelenskyy to avoid strikes on Russian diesel refineries

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should stop targeting Russia’s diesel refineries, even as Ukraine continues longrange attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Speaking at the Irish Open at his golf club in Doonbeg, Ireland, Trump said he had already discussed the issue with Zelenskyy after a recent conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said Ukraine could keep striking other targets inside Russia, but argued that attacks on diesel facilities were worsening shortages and affecting global fuel supplies. The comments came as Russia and Ukraine continued trading drone and missile attacks, with both sides reporting casualties overnight. The war has also added pressure to diesel markets, which have faced supply disruptions in Russia and broader strain on global energy flows.
