After Record Diesel Prices in America.. Trump Calls for an End to the 'Foolish' Russia-Ukraine War

- US President Donald Trump emphasized on Monday the need to end the Russian-Ukrainian war, pointing out the impact on Russia's diesel industry due to the war. Trump wrote on his Truth Social account: "Unfortunately, Russia has lost control of its diesel fuel industry due to its war with Ukraine.

A large number of diesel refineries have been destroyed and are out of service - at least temporarily." The US president continued: "This senseless war with Ukraine must come to an end; the whole world is suffering, while 25,000 people - mostly soldiers - are killed every month."

According to the latest update from the American Automobile Association (AAA), diesel prices in the United States have reached record levels, exceeding $6.50 per gallon. This type of fuel is used for large trucks.

Ukraine carried out the widest drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding areas on Sunday, coinciding with the last days of the Russian parliamentary elections. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least three people and damage to a major oil refinery in the Moscow region.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin linked the attack to the voting process, considering that the aim of the strikes was clear: "to disrupt the elections," adding, "the enemy did not succeed." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the attack on Russia in a statement via the Telegram app, but did not mention the elections. The areas where voting is taking place include four Ukrainian regions that Russia has illegally annexed, although they are not fully under Kremlin control.

Zelensky said: "Our long-range responses had a significant impact in the Moscow region last night," adding that the targeted facilities were generating "billions of dollars that fuel the war machine." The Ukrainian General Staff later stated that the main target of the attack was the "Gazprom Neft-Moscow" refinery in the Kapotnya district of the Russian capital; this facility is considered one of the largest refineries in the country in terms of production volume.
