Trump calls on Ukraine to stop striking Russian diesel fuel infrastructure

On September 13, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt strikes on Russian diesel fuel infrastructure, saying the attacks are causing fuel shortages and hurting the world. Trump made the remarks from his golf club in Doonbeg, Ireland, amid ongoing mutual drone strikes between Russia and Ukraine and record-high U.S. diesel prices. Separately, Russia's state nuclear energy chief accused Ukraine of attacking diesel fuel trucks near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, killing two Russian servicemen.
