Trump Claims Ukraine and Russia Agreed Not to Target Energy Infrastructure
The U.S. president attributed a spike in U.S. diesel prices to the conflict rather than Iran, while NATO's chief said a Russian drone attack on a train near Poland would not deter Western support for Kyiv.
Trump claimed that Ukraine and Russia have agreed not to strike each other's energy targets, according to remarks made by the U.S. president. He attributed recent increases in U.S. diesel prices to the ongoing conflict, rejecting suggestions that Iran was responsible for the price surge.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that a Russian drone attack on a train near Ukraine's border with Poland would not discourage Western nations from backing Kyiv's defense efforts.
