President Donald Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries to lower global diesel prices during a phone call. The two leaders will meet on Tuesday in New York to coordinate a U.S. effort to reach a de-escalation deal between Russia and Ukraine. Trump repeatedly argued that the Ukrainian attacks on fuel infrastructure were inflating global costs, a point emphasized many times during the conversation according to a source familiar with the call.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy identified the "peace track" as the top priority and noted there is "diplomatic momentum" following visits to Kyiv by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The current framework for de-escalation involves addressing energy security, food security, and the protection of human life. Zelenskyy also thanked Trump for signing the Lindsey Graham bill into law during the Saturday discussion.
