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.

        Unfortunately, they could release a 4k dolby atmos IMAX film of trump raping a schoolbus full of kindergardners, and MAGA would foam at the mouth trying to defend it. I don’t think anything can touch him at this point.

          Someone always comes along with almost exactly this reply, as if its a valid reason to keep hiding whichever gross pedo evidence is in question.

            Its a valid point though, there is enough out there now to bury anyone in a real nation. In the us they have punished the victims and paid the perpetrators. Its not as if they should not release more info, more that just releasing it does nothing if no charges are laid.
