Трамп вимагав від України в односторонньому порядку припинити удари по російських НПЗ - Axios

This was reported by Axios by an American official who is aware of the situation, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that in recent months, Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have been extremely effective and have caused an energy crisis in Russia. In response, the Russian Federation banned the export of diesel fuel, which increased pressure on world markets that were already experiencing shocks due to the war in Iran.

Zelensky told Trump and his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that Ukraine is ready to stop striking Russian refineries if Russia, for its part, stops attacking Ukrainian power plants.

According to the American official, Trump insisted on a unilateral cessation of Ukrainian strikes, as they contributed to rising gasoline prices in the United States. At the same time, the head of the White House did not consider the strikes on Russian refineries to be equivalent to Russia's attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
