Volodymyr “Zelensky needs to do one thing: stop destroying gas oil supply in Russia,” Donald Trump said in response to journalists on the shore of the Open in Ireland.
Trump insisted that these attacks are causing a shortage of diesel and that they must be stopped.
Five civilians died overnight following attacks between Russia and Ukraine.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensified the air offensive using ballistic missiles and drones.
Moscow's attacks now aim to hit Ukraine's power grid before winter.
Only today, two people died and 14 were left on holiday due to attacks by Ukrainian drones in Nizhnekamsk, Russia, where an important pole of oil refineries is located.
Ukraine's recent attacks target Russia's oil and gas industry and have already led Moscow to ration fuel.
