U.S. President Donald Trump said that Russia lost control over its oil-refining industry, in particular diesel production, due to the “futile” war against Ukraine and called for its termination. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in response to the White House leader’s statement, once again reaffirmed Kyiv’s readiness to take “de-escalation steps” and pursue a peaceful settlement if Moscow shares that aspiration.
Trump’s call is referenced on the official White House account on the social network X.
“Unfortunately, because of the war with Ukraine, Russia has lost control over its diesel production sector. A significant portion of its oil refining plants that produce diesel were damaged and, at least temporarily, taken out of operation,” the White House quoted Trump’s statement on Truth Social.
The American president once again urged to end “this senseless and endless war against Ukraine.”
“The whole world suffers, as every month 25 000 people die—mostly soldiers. What a disgrace,” Trump emphasized.
President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready to work on de-escalation of the war and will discuss with partners diplomatic proposals toward this end.
The head of state wrote this on X.
“Indeed, this Russian war against Ukraine and against common sense must be stopped,” Zelensky wrote.
He underscored the consequences of a full-scale war, each year bringing more problems, and stressed that Ukraine has always pursued peace.
“We have already put forward dozens of diplomatic proposals on how to dignifyly end this war, guarantee security, and prevent new Russian invasions. There is currently dialogue with President Trump and the United States. Ideas on advancing peace are also under consideration, starting with resolute steps toward de-escalation. Ukraine’s energy sector, its critical infrastructure, and our food exports must cease to be targets for Russia, and this will lead to corresponding steps toward de-escalation on our side. A decision is possible,” Zelensky said.
According to him, the Ukrainian side is ready to work on this and discuss it with partners on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He thanked “everyone who helps” the peace process.
“It will no longer be that only the country being attacked suffers. The nature of the war now is such that the aggressor also incurs losses. Technologies make this possible. The strength of leadership by countries can and should ensure de-escalation, security, and peace,” emphasized the Ukrainian president.
20 In September, U.S. President Donald Trump, during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, again repeatedly urged him to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries. The White House links such attacks to rising global diesel prices.
After the phone call with the U.S. president, Zelensky announced that they had agreed to meet later this week on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
