Trump: Ukraine strikes cripple Russian diesel industry ahead of Zelensky talks
Kyiv Independent·RU · UA · US·about 3 hours ago

The claim is unverified and likely rhetorical, but highlights the strategic impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refining capacity. This matters as it signals potential pressure for negotiations and reflects the economic toll of the conflict.
