Trump says Russia has lost control of diesel industry due to Ukraine strikes

President Donald Trump, speaking on Monday, acknowledged that Ukrainian military strikes have severely damaged Russia’s energy infrastructure. In a statement released via his social‑media accounts, the former president noted that “a large number of their diesel refineries have been blown up and are, at least temporarily, out of commission,” and added that Russia has lost control of its diesel‑oil industry as a result of the attacks.

Trump called for an end to the war, urging both sides to seek a resolution. He framed the destruction of the refineries as a decisive blow to Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort, while emphasizing the broader humanitarian and economic toll of the conflict. The remarks came amid ongoing reports of continued Ukrainian offensives aimed at crippling Russian supply lines and industrial capacity.
