https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-drones-odesa-refinery-border-crossing-17bb6a0401abc3eaa7d4586150a41d7dKYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries and other infrastructure used to produce and distribute diesel, saying the attacks are causing a global shortage. He spoke after diesel prices in the U.S. hit a record on Friday, soaring past $6 a gallon on average.Ukraine has for months been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry with long-range strikes, prompting fuel rationing across the country and causing Moscow to ban diesel exports in July, removing supplies from the already tight global market.But the global crunch also came after the war on Iran curtailed oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.Fuel prices are weighing on Americans as they prepare to vote in midterm elections in November.Trump was asked by a reporter if he had spoken with Zelenskyy following his recent conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. He responded by calling on Zelenskyy to halt strikes against Russia.“Mr. Zelenskyy has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the Irish Open, which is being played at his Doonbeg golf club.“We spoke to Mr. Zelenskyy about it. There are plenty of other targets. Don’t hit diesel fuel, because that’s hurting, that’s hurting the world,” he said. Diesel exports from Gulf countries way down since Iran war beganAccording to a report published Friday by the International Energy Agency, net exports of diesel and gasoil from the Gulf countries in August stood at “just over a quarter” of what they were before the war on Iran began in February.
“Disruptions to Russia’s refining system and a near-halt to product exports following intensified Ukrainian attacks have compounded these losses,” the IEA wrote. It added that in February, combined next exports of diesel and gasoil from the Gulf and Russia “accounted for almost 45% of global seaborne trade.”Kyiv says Russia’s oil industry both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s more than four-year-old invasion of Ukraine.Russia has ramped up its air campaign against Ukraine in recent weeks, using ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones to pierce Ukraine’s defenses. Moscow’s attacks have targeted Ukraine’s power grid ahead of winter in what officials say is meant to demoralize civilians.Civilians were killed and injured overnight into Sunday as Russia and Ukraine exchanged large-scale drone strikes. Two people were killed and 14 more wounded near an oil and industrial hub in Russia’s Tatarstan, according to local officials, while Ukrainian authorities reported on Russian drones pummeling the Black Sea port of Odesa and starting a fire near a border crossing with Poland. Ukraine targets more Russian oil facilitiesThe two Russian civilians died after a drone slammed into a tree near their parked car in the city of Nizhnekamsk, according to the office of regional head Rustam Minnikhanov. Nizhnekamsk houses a key cluster of oil refineries and other industrial plants. Mayor Radmir Belyaev said that a fire had broken out at an unspecified “enterprise.”Ukraine also claimed to have hit a major oil refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, in Russia’s Krasnodar region near Crimea. The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) agency said its drones struck a key oil processing unit and the refinery’s tank farm overnight into Sunday.Krasnodar authorities said the strike on “an enterprise” in Slavyansk-on-Kuban injured three people and damaged an oil pipeline.Russian forces shot down 389 Ukrainian drones during the night, Russia’s defense ministry said Sunday.
Russia targets Odesa and western UkraineIn Ukraine, at least nine people were injured in a “massive” Russian nighttime attack on Odesa, according to Serhii Lysak from the city’s military administration. Odesa is home to Ukraine’s main port hub on the Black Sea and has faced sustained drone and missile strikes, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of trying to choke off its exports.A Russian drone attack on Saturday struck a residential high-rise in Odesa, killing two people and injuring 26 others, Ukrainian officials said.Russian overnight strikes also pounded western Ukraine, though there were no immediate reports of casualties. One drone set fire to a gas station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing with Poland, according to Ukraine’s top diplomat and a spokesperson for the local customs force.“This is Putin’s terror ‘knocking’ directly on the doors of the EU and NATO. Russian barbarians are at your gate, dear partners,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on X.Ukraine’s border crossings with Poland are a conduit for much of the military and humanitarian aid sent by Western allies.Valentyna Chernysh, a spokesperson for the Volyn Customs Office, told The Associated Press that the Yahodyn crossing was intact and no one was harmed.Earlier this week, two people died when Russian drones hit the Starokozache border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova on Tuesday. The following day a “direct threat” to a Polish-Ukrainian crossing point was avoided due to the cooperation between Warsaw and Kyiv, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.Ukraine’s air force said its air defenses shot down or suppressed 409 Russian drones of various types overnight, including a newer jet-powered version that is faster and more difficult to intercept. It said Russia had attacked Ukraine with 453 drones in total.
>>1536724>saying the attacks are causing a global shortage.That is YOU, you stupid bitch. You did that. This is your fucking fault and the entire world knows it.
>>1536724I cannot believe there are people out here who genuinely believe that Putin doesn't have his hand shoved firmly up Trump's ass and working his mouth like a puppet.
>>1536729The US imports under 10% if it's diesel.With the amount of weather changing taxes euroshits have collected from the eurotards, they should have 100% nuclear power and electric vehicles by now. Turns out environmentalist politicians are fucking scammers though. Who knew? (I did). Your carbon taxes went to funding browns for global capital to increase muh GDP.
>>1536737They were to busy taking bribes from Russian gas companies to decommission nuclear power. You really can't blame them. The money was to good. We just need more taxes and more immigration to make up the difference. It's an investment. Right wing CHUDs wouldn't get it. Oh and the food and culture and shit.
Ukraine is participating in creating a global crisis because uh.. Ukraine has a right to defend itself?
>>1536737An entire post of irrelevant bullshit! Outstanding. I especially like the point of blaming environmentalists for the lack of electric cars, that's a real class act right there.
>>1536740I think they have a right to defend themselves, but Zelensky has failed in his duty to his people, which are mostly dead or displaced now.What's even left to fight for?Blackock needs the land he wants to keep, they've already pledged the funds.
>>1536741You are aware of the curious case of German nuclear power under their left wing government, right?
>>1536740Fuck off, Ivan. That's too retarded to even argue with.
>>1536744I am aware that your trying to derail the subject of this thread, yes. It's all you people do. Hell, it's the same shit Trump's trying to do right here. Record high diesel prices? Oh no no no, don't look at the strait, don't look at the war he started, look at Ukraine hitting Russian oil! It's their fault!Shut the fuck up, Donny. This is on you. It's on you and everybody knows it and there's not a single fucking thing you can do about it.
>>1536741Addendum to >>1536744You fags think I just sit here and bullshit you, huh?You could never be fooled huh?Too smart. There's no one more intelligent than leftwingers shitlords on the Internet. People who can't comprehend that maybe there exist more intelligent people for hire from the billionaires to make them feel good about being liggeral. Certainly no one would spend billions to influence people to advocate for them, right?You are very good. You would never be fooled by very bad people,, right?
>>1536746The news is there, the convo goes where it goes.The subject has been discussed. It's time for a fucking donnyboork. Prepare you asshole, faggot.
>>1536746Again, the US imports very little of it's fuel.A cursory googling (difficultly level for a liggeral: impossible) would tell you most of the diesel going through the strait goes to Asia. Which should really be somewhat obvious as most eurofags are north of Iran.Russia supplies energy to Euroshits. Euroshits feed off of Russia because they produce nothing.Noting that, euroshits should've invested in nuclear ages ago, like France.
>>1536749Yeah man sure that really matters. It's not like it's a global market or something.They put diesel above 6 fucking bucks per gallon just as a sweet prank. You fucking idiot. You absolute retard.
>>1536750OK, so again, why aren't countries, especially eurozone shitholes, disconnecting for fossil fuels?It's clean it's cheap, and it doesn't give Rusisa, Iran, or China regional power over the market.What in the fuck have liggerals been doing for 2 decades?Well, Germany decided to shut down it's nuclear program to go back to coal provided by Russian Gazprom. Clean, renewable coal!Am I really the retard?
>>1536750Not to mention that Ukraine has massive natural gas reserves, likely slatted for power generation once Blackrock's investment in Ukraine starts paying off.>>1536750Liggeral piggies never think past the feels. They cannot process WIIFM.
>>1536751>OK, so again, whatabout we talk about something else-How about fuck you?
>>1536754Yes, indeed "whatabout". I told you, it's a donnybrook at this point.The question: if liggeral environmentalism is so great, why in the fuck are liggeral politicians not actually doing anything with the money collected to solve the "climate crisis"?The answer: liggerals are scammers and everything liggerals believe is made to make them feel good about selling out their own people to global capital.Hell, I'm even pissed off that the US isn't doing a huge nuclear roll out at this point with Bienflation driving up the cost of natural gas through the roof, coal power getting more and more expensive, wind and solar being scams that politicians are invested in we should be converting over to nuclear generated clean power in 2026.
>>1536751>Quick they're onto me, let me change the subject againLol do they teach whataboutism 101 at the kremlin or something?
>>1536755>not actually doing anything with the money collected to solve the "climate crisis"?source?
>>1536737We may import a small amount of gasoline, but you have to remember the stock files of gas will go to the highest payer. Many domestic oil fields are going to ship abroad for greener pastures and leave the average American high and dry.
>>1536724BASED ukranian nazis BTFO. thank you president Trump
>>1536735I can't believe people are thinking the opposite. We are siding with Putin by choice because it's the most natural thing to do. Ukraine isn't even really a country, it's just an autonomous zone that Russia hasn't fully annexed yet.
>>1536793What does "The Ukraine" mean, literally?
>>1536799The region.
>>1536793>>1536793>Ukraine isn't even really a country, it's just an autonomous zone that Russia hasn't fully annexed yet.Wow it's like I'm hearing Putin's own talking points without having to go to RT or Tass.
where there's the smell of smoke, there's FIRE!where there's the smell of urine there's PISS!AKA Israel had better pictures on me then Russia did. the opposite is true of tRump.
>>1536793Fuck off zigger
>>1536807I thought it meant "The borderlands"
>>1536735A story just broke today about one of Putin's buddies paying for Don Jr's most recent weddingBut that doesn't matter. Oligarchs pay for things for the children of billionaires out of the goodness of their hearts all the time and never ask anything in return.
>>1536861This was already confirmed fake news and even if it wasn't Russia should be America's friend, but liggerals are insane and want war
>>1536890>This was already confirmed fake newssourcE?
>>1536891The imaginary leftist that lives rent free in ESL shills head told them it was a false flag
No one believes the Russia distraction anymore. The liggerals just want to avert attention away from the fact that they are willingly prolonging the way in Iran that Obama allowed to happen
>>1536724Ukraine started bombing Russian fuel infrastructure in early 2024. Diesel didn't spike. In February, Trump attacked Iran. Diesel spiked and prices have kept rising since.No, Ukraine bombing Russian oil did not have some magically delayed effect that wouldn't kick in for two entire years, that as a happy coincidence just happened to be during Trump's totally unrelated elective war with Iran. Diesel prices are high and getting higher because of Trump, which means the price of everything is high and getting higher because of Trump. It is 100% his fault.
>>1536903What about in 2022 when the war started?https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-gasoline-average-pump-price-tops-5gallon-historic-first-2022-06-11/
>>1536940Hey anon what else happened in the leadup to 2022? A certain slowdown of the oil industry due to a certain virus ring a bell?Not saying the Ukraine war didn't play a role, but still. Also by that logic how did oil go down even though at no point did Ukraine's bombing campaign stop?
>>1536943Wouldn't that have influenced the price in 2020, 2021?Do you have any news articles about the price of gas hitting $5 a gallon in 2020 or 2021?
>Yes diesel prices started jumping the day Trump launched his retarded war in Iran>But high diesel prices are Zelensky and Biden's fault because... BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE OKAY!?https://apnews.com/article/diesel-prices-record-iran-war-636252b3b82326b41661ee5c4073dacb
>>1536946It seems like gas prices spiked in 2022 when Biden said he would give Ukraine "whatever it takes" instead of rolling over like Obama did with Crimea in 2014.
>>1536744>SUBJECT: SHORTAGE + TDSbro, you're an illiterate retard who actually thinks the energy problem is a zero sum game, do you even know in a small pickup full of dirt it has the energy potential to run the world for 1 year.THE ENERGY PROBLEM IS AN ENGINEERING PROBLEMAND YOU FUCKING RETARDS DRINK PROPAGANDA CUM BY MAJOR OIL COMPANIES AND STOP NUCLEAR LITERALLY EVERYWHEREYou should unironically kill yourself and hopefully if you your schizoid tranny balls tell you to go kill republicans, please kill the Qatari allied one they're leftists anyway.By the way maintaining cells is easier than changing all of them, so eternal youth is easier than transitioning, you will never be a woman,so unironically kill yourself and join the 56%
>>1536956dirt there is*if your schizoid*ones*anyway should have probably checked the post before sending it after saying illiterate but I was lazy. No point talking to trannies anyway they'll live another 2 years tops
hopefully esl shill drinks himself to death soon, he's clearly falling apart
>>1536948Where was it at the day Trump took office in 2025?
>>1536959Bro not only are you not capable of reading you also are not capable of writing more than a paragraph or making any arguments of your own.You're a failure of our educational system, and you lash out by calling other people esl, always projecting your inability to use the English language.
>>1536961Probably pretty low. Just like it's going to be in 2028 when Trump wraps up his term, the Iran war is over and the strait is open.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GASDESMDiesel spiked in 2022 because Russia invaded Ukraine in earnest. No, that's not Biden's fault, don't be retarded. Then it went down, before spiking again in 2026 when Trump attacked Iran. Stop trying to conflate the two spikes. It's fucking stupid and nobody's buying it.
>>1536965esl shill, you've told us countless times that trump already won the war. why isn't it over
>>1536968Biden told us countless times he would give Ukraine whatever it takes to win. If Ukraine has what it takes to win and they are winning why haven't they ended the war? Why isn't it over?
>>1536965Is the strait not open now?
>>1536969Didn't Trump say he'd end the Ukraine Russia war in 24 hours if he won reelection?How's that going?
>>1536970Well the price of gas is still high, like it was in the first year of the Ukraine war. If this thing lasts a few years they might reach 2025 prices
>>1536975>Well the price of gas is still high, like it was in the first year of the Ukraine war.But it went down and then back up since then. I wonder what could've caused it to spike like that. It's not like there was another war that had a major impact on global oil supply or anything...
>>1536975I'm sure the Houthis taking the Red Sea and the Saudis closing the Hormuz bypass pipeline due to attacks all as a result of instability in the region due to Trump's war, coupled with Russia banning fuel exports due to shortages caused by the other war Trump said he'd end in 24 hours, will help bring prices down in no time
>>1536976The price of gas went up during the first year of the Iran war like it went up during the first year of the Ukraine war. If the war lasts a few years it won't be a shock in the supply or distribution that causes price to rise it will be priced into their distribution and expectations. The Ukraine war was not over, nor had Russian oil been reintroduced in 2024 during the final year of Bidens term, but the price of gas had stabilized at a lower equilibrium until the next supply shock
>>1536972I think that ship has sailed. That promise is working out like Bidens $10,000 checks, I mean "student loan waivers" if he won the midterms.
>>1536980Guess it's only fair to give Republicans the same treatment Democrats got in the 2022 midterms
>>1536981I don't care if its fair or deserved, I'm not shitting in my pants to laugh at Republican failures
>>1536982Oh trust me, I'd love for Trump to have not been a total fuck up in almost every way imaginableBut he is. And we're all stuck with it, whether we supported him or not. So why not mock the people who have been defending him for a full decade now and rub their noses in it? Not like he's going anywhere anyway, thanks to them.
>>1536740I'm a Chud, so unlike leftists I actually think that men are humans and that Ukraine does not have the right to force men to die for women.
>>1536956>TDSHello pedophile
>>1536984President Trump has not been a fuck up. You're listening to liggeral lies with 0 skepticism or critical thought
>>1536988How's the Iran war he said would last at most eight weeks going?How's the war in Ukraine he said he'd end in 24 hours going?How are the prices of food and fuel he said he'd bring down looking?What did you do with your DOGE and tariff checks he said he'd be sending out in late 2025/ early 2026?
>>1536987Does it count as being a pedophile if the billionaire pedophiles they slavishly protect don't pay them enough to hire a child prostitute and they have to hire transwomen to fuck them?
>>1536992Sounds more like a conservative thing
>>1536990The Iran war has been over for months. Barely anything happens anymore. Ukraine would be over if Zelensky wasn't such a warmonger. That's entirely on Zelenskys bloodthirst and refusing to adopt any of President Trump's common sense dealsPrices increases are purely the fault of liberal over regulation and environmental policy. President Trump confirmed 2 dollar a gallon gas in red states. This reflects my experience as well where prices are down across the board. Including price of housing, which has decreased heavily due to ICE's deportationsDemocrats are stopping the DOGE, tariff and dividend checks because they refuse to hand President Trump another win.
>>1537002have a rupee
>>1537002>President Trump confirmed 2 dollar a gallon gas in red states.Yeah leaving out that it's 90% ethanol based fuel the vast majority of cars can't fucking use.How are those diesel prices retard?
>>1536981And we'll get more political deadlock with no bills being passed and random government shutdowns yay
>>1536990Literally every complaint you have against Trump Biden was guilty ofJust replace "Iran War" with "Palestine war"https://i.imgur.com/ZKBHwdH.jpeg
>>1537017Shutdowns only happen for any notable amount of time when Republicans control everything and gridlock would be better than what we've had for the last two years.
esl shill still hasn't figured out that this is a text only board
>>1537021they know, their bosses don't get it and keep putting in the ordersIts post the pictures or the job goes to the next villager
>>1537007A small price to pay to prevent those insane extremists muslims from getting a nuke. Arguably less damage to society than the untold destruction Obama and Briben caused with the Arab spring and Ukraine war
>Obama is a monster for being better at keeping a nuke out of Iranian hands than Trump
>>1537026They only negotiated with him because he's a pussy, and his middle name is Huessein.And he gave them stacks of their sanctioned money, thus funding their terrorism.
>>1537007Gas is $2.60 here.
>>1537030is that your hourly wage? seems a bit much
>>1537029>Obama is better than TrumpI'll accept your concession
>>1537034>Delaying today's war and funding terrorism via releasing billions in rightly ceased funds and allowing Iran to enrich uranium and attack ships is better.>I'll accept your concession.Leftasses, everyone.
for some reason esl shill keeps delaying the conclusion of his miserable existence
>prevent those insane extremists muslims from getting a nuke>what happened 25 years ago was by Saudis. Not Jews. Saudis.>Trump wants to give Saudi Arabia nuclear technology to a Muslim country responsible for 9/11. You voted for this, miggersWhat two previous presidents did is less than nothing compared to Trump, 1537025 reduced to whataboutism.
>>1537044Saudi Arabia is now a US ally.Iran is a Russo-Chinese ally.And I don;t care if they get nukes and glass Israel one bit.
>>1537046Israel is also a US ally.

If America hating liggerals start spamming anti-saudi propaganda, that just tells me that we need to double down on our support for them. An enemy of liggeralism is a friend of any patriotic American
>>1537048Despite the evidence, yes.
1537046>Saudi Arabia is now a US ally>Saudi Arabia wants support from UK PM Andy BurnhamAmerica loves 'Liggerals' then.
>>1537067Holy fucking shit. Does the UK seriously have another new PM.Isn't that like the 3rd one this week?
>Saudi Arabia is now a US ally>US trains pilots from Qatar>Qatar funds HamasAmeristan.
>>1537072Qatar is a major US ally according to Joe Bribe'em
>Trump supports Saudi Arabia>Saudi Arabia wants support from a Labour PM1537071 loves liggerals.
>>1537075So your original point was moot is what you're saying. It you're exposing yourself to the Labour party being in bed with terrorists that attached the US.Did you have a point?
1537074>Joe Bribe'emWhich is a fictional name completely different to Joe Biden, thus has nothing to do with Qarari pilots trained in US under Trump's watch, thus 1537074 supports those who fund Hamas.
1537025>prevent those insane extremists muslims from getting a nuke>those insane extremists muslims>Iran1537046>Saudi Arabia is now a US ally>And I don;t care if they get nukes and glass Israel one bit>Saudi Arabia wants support from a PM considered a 'Liggeral' by the esl shill>Saudi Arabia-supporting Trump supports a country which funds HamasSo your original point was moot is what you're saying. If you're exposing yourself to the Republican party being in bed with terrorists that attacked the US.Do you have a point, 1537077?>attachedApart from your lips being attached to the rear end of a supporter of a country that wants support from a 'Liggeral', esl shill.>It you're exposing yourself to>ItYou're exposing yourself to ridicule, esl shill that has a humiliation fetish.
>>1537085To be fair UK will have two new PMs by the end of the week.
>Saudi Arabia is now a US ally>an ally of US wants support from a UK PMTo be fair, 1537087 loves what it refers to as 'liggerals', thus has already changed its attitudes. If 1537087 denies this, then it isn't American. An ally of America that wants support from a liggeral, that liggeral is a friend of any patriotic American.
>>1537093To be fair, liggerals are generally very easy to manipulate. So it stands to rain that most foreigners would love to deal with liggerals who generally dont care about their own people.
To be fair, 1537096 doesn't need to be manipulated into admitting it fails in every way imaginable, and not just for the reason in >>1537095So it stands to reason that 1537096 admits to being a foreigner and not American. Further proof of that:>So it stands to rain that most foreigners would love to deal with liggerals>rainSorry to rain on your humiliation parade no I'm not , but thanks for admitting that you love liggerals, as you're a self-admitted foreigner because you are esl.
>>1537097I think you >>1537097misunderstand. I like liberals, and despise liggerals.You >>1537097 are not liberal, and Labour isn't a liberal party.>>1537097So don't get mixed up
1537096>most foreigners would love to deal with liggerals>it stands to rainIt stands to reason that 1537098 has two notions before the end of the day, thus it can't think.>I despise what I loveSo the misunderstanding 1537098 does get it mixed up. But 1537098 is a low-intelligence esl foreigner with an inferior education>rainthus no wonder it is subjected to constant humiliation by those who are superior.
>>1537074And Trump. They gave him Air Force One.
>>1537129You mean bribed trump with an inferior plane that he used as bait, along with everyone else in it, while he cowered in a food truck.
>>1537172Getting rid of all Qatari bribe planes used as bait would indeed save a lot of money. It will also directly and indirectly kill a lot of people, and we, like your entire family, can only hope you're one of them. It's like getting rid of seatbelts and aribags in cars.
And a bribe - that'll be as paid as reliably as a DOGE payment - of $5,000 from an unreliable president which was bribed with a plane by Qatar is crashing the plane that is MAGA from the midterms onwards, with no rightist survivors.
