> U.S. President Donald Trump urged Volodymyr Zelensky on Sept. 13 to halt Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s diesel infrastructure, claiming they were contributing to a diesel shortage. Trump said Ukraine could pursue other targets. Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck oil refineries in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai and Tatarstan that day.
