US President Donald Trump has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. Trump links these attacks to part of the worldwide shortage of diesel fuel. Merkur ↗
According to available information, Zelensky is willing to stop the attacks, but the condition would be an agreement with Russia on an energy truce. This would mean halting attacks on energy infrastructure as part of a broader agreement between Moscow and Kyiv. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Ukraine has been deliberately targeting Russian refineries. The attacks hit facilities important for fuel production and became one of the topics of Trump's talks with Zelensky at the White House. Their meeting took place last August.
At the same time, Trump pointed to serious problems in the Russian economy and claims that Russia has lost control over oil production. According to him, the Russian economy has been significantly damaged by the consequences of the war in Ukraine. However, the American president also claims that the attacks on refineries are contributing to tension in the diesel market. Tagesspiegel ↗
Further developments will depend on whether Russia agrees to an energy truce. Without such an agreement, Zelensky reportedly does not want to stop the attacks. Negotiations are thus focusing on the connection between military operations, energy infrastructure, and fuel availability.
