The whole World suffers as 25,000 people, mostly soldiers, are being killed each month. What a shame! President DJT\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The remarks came a day before Trump was due to meet Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Zelenskyy said after Sunday&#8217;s call that it had been an \u201cimportant conversation\u201d and that his meeting with Trump \u201ccould change a lot\u201d. His office said the two leaders were expected to meet on Tuesday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>According to the Financial Times, Trump\u2019s central message during the call was \u201cdiesel, diesel\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009diesel\u201d. A senior Ukrainian official who participated in the conversation told the newspaper that Trump urged Zelenskyy to order his military to stop drone and missile attacks on Russian refineries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Another senior Ukrainian official familiar with the call told the FT that Trump was \u201cvery worried\u201d about rising diesel prices and wanted Russian supplies to reach global markets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Trump had made a similar appeal publicly on September 13, saying, \u201cMr. Zelenskiy has to do one thing: He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia.\u201d He added: \u201cThere are plenty of other targets. Don&#8217;t hit diesel fuel. That&#8217;s hurting the world.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The Kremlin welcomed Trump\u2019s appeal. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow could only welcome any call for Kyiv to stop attacks on civilian economic infrastructure. He also said Russia\u2019s view was that the disruption in global energy markets was being driven largely by instability and renewed escalation in the Gulf region.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Ukraine has defended attacks on Russian refineries as legitimate military targets, while a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes has reduced Russian refining output and contributed to fuel shortages. <!-- -->Reuters reported last week that six major diesel-producing refineries had suffered significant production cuts or shutdowns in September.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The latest call followed what Russian authorities described as the largest-ever drone attack on Moscow, during which a major oil refinery was reportedly set ablaze.
