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.

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

    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.

      Well, actually, the diesel thing started with the Ukraine war because Russia is a massive diesel producer and the sanctions drove diesel prices up starting 3 years ago.

    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

      Unfortunately he could have a colouring book with crayons and still not be in any element he’s qualified for.

      Oh this is the guy slightly half of actual participating voters in that country voted for too. Though I do think there’s a good chance not all totals were valid, every fucking swing state? Even their God Reagan didn’t get that blowout, but whatever their system that they decided to fuck over the world with. Good luck on any deals once the orange turd has been flushed.

        The conservative movement has spent decades cultivating plyable idiots for the purpose of enriching the few in charge. I sometimes wonder if they were caught off guard by how deeply stupid their base is.
