Yes. On September 13, 2026, while speaking to reporters at the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Ireland, U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” arguing the attacks were “hurting the world.” Trump said he had spoken with Zelenskyy about it and that Ukraine could pursue other targets, but should avoid diesel infrastructure amid a U.S. diesel price surge that GasBuddy said topped $6 a gallon nationally. Ukraine maintains that Russian refineries are legitimate military targets.
