Trump criticizes Russia’s “ridiculous and endless” war

“ A Russia has unfortunately lost control of its diesel industry because of the war in Ukraine. A large number of diesel refineries have been destroyed and are at least temporarily out of service,” he said.

Trump said that “the whole world suffers” with the war going on since 2022, and that “25,000 people, mostly soldiers, are being killed every month.”.

“ This ridiculous and endless war [from Russia] with Ukraine must end,” he wrote on the social network of which he owns, quoted by the Spanish agency Europa Press.

Trump announced last week that Russia and Ukraine had agreed not to attack energy-related targets, but both parties maintained the attacks.

At the same time, he said that the increase in the world price of diesel was mainly due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, and not to the conflict in Iran caused by the United States and Israel.

Oil prices have risen considerably in the United States in recent weeks, and on the Republican side it is feared that this may have influence in the November elections.

Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but Ukrainian resistance, with the support of Western allies in arms, has prevented Moscow from achieving its goals.

The energy infrastructure has been one of the most targeted targets by Russian forces, with Ukraine trying to respond with attacks on refineries and fuel deposits.

Ukrainian public company Naftogaz today announced the construction of oil deposits in Hungary to keep Ukraine's fuel reserves safe from Russian attacks.

On the Russian side, the Government today announced that it will increase production and adjust fuel imports to stabilise the internal market, given the scarcity caused by Ukrainian attacks on refineries.

Trump is to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday in New York on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly.
