Trump calls on Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying attacks are causing a shortage

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.

Russia is offering nothing at all for this, by the way. Also, they could have this tomorrow by withdrawing.
Awww poor wittle poopsie pants loosing it yet again. Yawn.
Has Trump cleverly extracted a concession from Russia? No? Okay, let the destruction of oil infrastructure continue.
I am shocked but not surprised that Trump has decided Ukraine is at fault for the skyrocketing cost of fuel. The only really "surprising" part is that he didn't try to blame Biden.
Presumably, there is a wheel or dartboard, or bingo ball dispenser full of Trump's perceived enemies somewhere and when a problem becomes too big to ignore or gaslight Americans about, they just pull it out.
It would be very funny if Zelenskyy (or really, any other NATO or allied head of state) called on orangeboi to halt strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage
to iranians.
Bruh what the fuck, that's the point of it
Scapegoat for November midterms elections
Funny. I call on Russia to fuck off out of Ukraine
Seems like a great way for their precious oil infrastructure to stay safe
it's gonna be a cold fucking winter in russia this year. I wonder if it'll get bad enough for them to throw out putin
That's rich. What's hurting US prices more, Trump's war on Iran or Putin's war on Ukraine?
Well, Putin's war had a major impact in that oil companies realized they could arbitrarily jack up prices and blame it on Russia.
That's what got me about it too, but Donald isn't exactly one for thinking things through.
He's one for finding scapegoats tho
Looks like America doesn't have any cards. Have they even thanked Zelensky once?
Slava Ukraini!!
