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 Orange Shitbag Russian asset can piss off. The Muscovites should leave Ukrainian territory, which includes the Crimea.

    Oh ffs. Putin could retreat from Ukraine anytime.

    Yeah, I know he can’t. He’d be done for politically and possibly also physically.

    US should let Seal Team 6 handle this new oil crisis like they handled Bin Laden. Just send the them to Putin’s Datscha and boom, Russia would retreat from Ukraine, Ukraine would stop hitting Russia. Problem solved.

    He should tell US military apparatus to stop assisting Ukraine with targeting. It’s all US controlled satellites that permit all Ukrainian terror strikes.

      Russia can end the war they started today by conceding the loss, give territory back to Ukraine, and let Putin accidentally fall out of a window.

        Always depressing to see so many supporting your demonic fiction. That debate aside, point is Trump doesn’t need to ask Zelensky for anything. He just needs to stop US military/GPS support operations. So this is yet another distraction from the 100 other distractions focusing away from failures. But also, that Trump supports his oligarch donors profits from high oil/diesel prices.

      Deisel is a resource used globally. The US doesn’t have to be purchasing Russian oil for Russian supplies to impact oil prices in the US.

      It’s also why the whole argument about drilling in the US to make oil cheaper falls apart. Oil from Venezuala, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Texas, Trinidad, Abu Dhabi, or Alaska all end up in the same international commodity markets.

    Like most presidents, Trump’s term will end with a helicopter ride.

    Except it won’t be Marine One.

    Trump will be evacuated from the White House by an FSB extraction helicopter.

    Instead of calling on Russia to end the war which would also stop the attacks and have the benefit of stopping the fucking killing of families and shit
