Trump and Zelensky might trade refineries for peace
The White House is eyeing a gas-price-focused peace deal as global fuel costs hit record highs.
Donald Trump Trump has landed on a simple theory for the global energy mess: if Ukraine stops blowing up Russian oil refineries, maybe gas prices will finally chill out. The logic is that while Volodymyr Zelensky Zelensky needs to keep hitting Russia to hamper their war machine, the skyrocketing cost at the pump is becoming a political nightmare in the US.
The two leaders are set to meet in New York to hash out whether a potential energy truce—where both sides stop targeting each other's power grids and refineries—is actually on the table. Zelensky insists that any de-escalation from Kyiv would require Moscow to blink first, but the pressure to stop the cycle of strikes is mounting as winter looms.
It is a strange new reality where the price of a gallon of gas in America might just determine the strategic targets of a long-range drone war. Let that sink in.
