Trump Urges Zelenskyy to Halt Russian Energy Strikes

President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel-producing facilities, saying they were worsening a global fuel shortage while Ukraine could target other sites. Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russian refineries and energy infrastructure, saying the sector finances Moscow’s war; recent strikes reportedly killed two people and injured 14 near Nizhnekamsk and damaged facilities in Krasnodar. Russia and Ukraine exchanged hundreds of drone attacks overnight, and Russian strikes hit targets in western Ukraine, while fuel disruptions contributed to shortages and restrictions in Russia. Peace efforts remain stalled, with U.S.-brokered talks making no breakthrough and Russia reportedly maintaining hard-line territorial demands. Zelenskyy said he would attend the December G20 summit in Miami and meet Vladimir Putin if both were invited, but the Kremlin rejected a neutral-site meeting, saying Putin would meet Zelenskyy only in Moscow; Moscow has not decided whether Putin will attend, though Russia is preparing to send officials to related G20 meetings.
