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.
That’s rich. What’s hurting US prices more, Trump’s war on Iran or Putin’s war on Ukraine?
Well, Putin’s war had a major impact in that oil companies realized they could arbitrarily jack up prices and blame it on Russia.
That’s what got me about it too, but Donald isn’t exactly one for thinking things through.
He’s one for finding scapegoats tho
