On September 21, 2026, US President Donald Trump stated that Russia has lost control over its diesel oil refining industry due to the war with Ukraine. He mentioned that a significant number of Russian oil refineries have been destroyed, leading to their temporary shutdown.
Consequences of the War for Russian Oil Refining
Trump emphasized that the destruction of oil refineries is a result of a senseless war that has been ongoing for a long time. He pointed out that this situation negatively impacts not only Russia but the entire world. In his statement, he highlighted the following facts:
- A large number of diesel oil refineries have been blown up.
- These refineries are, at least temporarily, out of operation.
- Approximately 25,000 people die each month as a result of the war, mostly military personnel.
Call for Peace
Trump called for an end to the war, deeming it absurd and futile. He expressed concern about the humanitarian consequences of the conflict, stressing that the whole world is suffering. "What a shame," he concluded his thoughts on the current situation.
