Amid a worldwide oil crisis and a record U.S. diesel price of $6.51, President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a Sunday call to stop drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, according to Ukrainian officials who gave details to the Financial Times. The call followed what was described as Ukraine’s largest strike on Russia since 2022, targeting Moscow-region oil facilities. In a Monday Truth Social post, Trump said the Ukraine conflict should end and pointed to monthly casualties. He also told reporters that Zelensky should avoid diesel-related targets. Zelensky called the conversation important and said Ukraine would honor a mutual ceasefire if the U.S. and others ensured Russia would too; the two planned to meet at the U.N. General Assembly.
