US President Donald Trump has called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russian diesel infrastructure, saying the attacks were causing a shortage of the ​fuel that "hurts the world." A series of long-distance Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries in recent months has affected that country's fuel production, triggering gasoline shortages. Ukraine, which faces regular Russian attacks on its own energy infrastructure, says refineries are legitimate military targets. The US national average price for diesel, which is used by trucks, trains, ships and farm equipment, rose over $6 a gallon for the first time on Thursday, according to price tracker GasBuddy. #russia #ukraine #trump #donaldtrump #zelenskyy #europe #oil 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews
