Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in his latest remarks, has asked Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, to reduce attacks on Russian refineries and fuel facilities. This request has been made particularly in light of the rising diesel prices and supply crises related to this fuel.
Consequences of Attacks on Russian Facilities
Trump emphasized in his conversation with Zelensky that continued attacks on Russian fuel facilities could negatively impact the market and diesel prices. He clearly stated that the intensity of these attacks should be reduced to prevent exacerbating the diesel crisis. Zelensky, in response to this request, indicated that Ukraine might consider this suggestion and reduce the attacks.

Impact on the Energy Market
Trump's remarks come at a time when energy infrastructure in Russia and Ukraine remains a target of reciprocal attacks. This situation has become one of the key issues in the conflict between the two countries. Given the capacity of Russia's main oil refineries, including oil fields such as the Tangestan oil field with a capacity of 1.2 million barrels per day, attacks on these facilities could have significant impacts on global fuel supply.
It is reported that the increase in diesel prices, which has risen by at least 50% in some markets, has occurred particularly due to disruptions caused by these attacks. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that there is a need for more cooperation in this area to create stability in the global energy market.
These remarks reflect Trump's deep concerns about the current state of the energy market and its impacts on the global economy. With the continuation of these disputes and attacks, it seems that fuel prices will remain under pressure in the near future, making this a primary concern for energy-importing countries.
