The Kremlin applauded this Monday the call made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, for Ukrainian forces to end their attacks against the Russian oil industry due to their repercussions on the global economy.

“Any call for the Kiev regime to stop its attacks on peaceful economic infrastructure can only be applauded,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to the Russian news agency TASS, a day after Trump’s remarks on this issue.
Trump highlighted on Sunday from Ireland that “Zelensky has to do one thing.” “He has to stop attacking Russia’s diesel fuel. Let him attack other targets, but not diesel fuel because it is causing a diesel shortage,” he said, before arguing that the problems in the global oil sector “have nothing to do with the Middle East,” despite the United States’ war against Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The American leader also revealed that he has already spoken with Zelensky about it. “Don’t attack diesel because it is affecting the world. We don’t want him to attack diesel,” he insisted, amid the increase in Ukrainian drone attacks against the Russian oil industry to try to create logistical problems for the Russian war machine in its invasion of Ukraine, with devices that have increasingly greater range.
