After announcing a deal to buy Russian diesel, Trump turned on Ukraine's president and blamed him for high fuel costs. Europe's leaders are alarmed, and Russian bombs fell on homes the same day.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry announced that its long-range strikes have disabled fifty-one percent of Russia's oil refining capacity, a claim assessed by Ukrainian intelligence, the General Staff, and the Defense Ministry. Targeted refineries span major Russian cities including Moscow, Yaroslavl, and Perm, with some facilities hit up to fifteen times since the war began. In a rare admission, President Putin acknowledged the strikes cost Russia roughly one percent of its GDP. The sustained damage has forced Russian refiners into emergency repair cycles, lowered fuel quality standards, and prompted Russia to ban diesel exports, pushing global prices higher. Inside Russia, the impact is visible at petrol stations, where drivers have waited up to forty hours for fuel.
