Donald Trump expresses concern over Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries
Published
Former US President Donald Trump has expressed his opinion on Ukraine's strategy in the war against Russia. According to a report by The Atlantic, the politician believes that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have an ulterior political motive.
Trump is convinced that such attacks could negatively impact the situation in the United States. In particular, he fears that rising fuel prices, caused by an oil shortage on the global market, could reduce the Republican Party's chances in the upcoming presidential election.
Currently, Ukraine continues to use domestically produced drones to strike Russian oil infrastructure facilities. Kyiv emphasizes that these refineries are legitimate military targets, as they provide fuel to the Russian army, which is waging a full-scale war against the Ukrainian people.
International experts note that these actions by Ukraine do indeed affect global energy prices. However, the Ukrainian authorities stress that the state's main priority remains reducing the aggressor's military potential and defending its own territory.
The situation remains a subject of debate in Washington, as support for Ukraine is an important topic in American politics. Future steps by both sides will depend on developments on the front line and the results of the US election race.
