The facts

President Trump publicly urged Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure, citing a global shortage.

Ukrainian drones have struck more than a dozen Russian oil refineries in 2025, knocking out an estimated 20% of Russia's refining capacity at various points.

Russia temporarily banned gasoline exports in 2025 after Ukrainian strikes triggered domestic fuel shortages and price spikes.

Oil and gas revenues fund roughly one-third of Russia's federal budget, according to Russia's own finance ministry.

The U.S. has provided Ukraine with over $175 billion in aid since Russia's February 2022 invasion, per congressional appropriations tracking.
