Trump Blames Ukraine for $6 Diesel—HERE’S WHAT HE LEFT OUT
Om avsnittet
I assess Trump’s claim that Ukrainian strikes on Russian diesel refineries are driving diesel prices higher. Those strikes can constrain refinery capacity, but I examine why they are not the largest factor in the available evidence. Russia has already restricted refined-fuel exports amid domestic shortages, while a KSE Institute estimate shared with the Financial Times puts the March-to-August Persian Gulf export decline during the US-Israeli war with Iran at 152 million barrels, versus a 68 million-barrel decline in Russian exports. The diesel-price chart discussed here also shows the major jump following the Iran conflict, not Ukraine’s refinery campaign.
I also explain Zelensky’s proposed reciprocal energy ceasefire: Ukraine would stop hitting Russian oil infrastructure if Russia stopped attacking Ukraine’s power grid. If Kyiv is pressured to abandon refinery strikes without a verifiable Russian commitment before winter, it risks losing a critical bargaining tool while Putin retains the ability to coerce Ukraine through energy attacks.
