Clément Molin wrote that Donald Trump wanted to buy diesel from Russia to address a shortage. He claimed that Ukraine had carried out 98 strikes against Russian refineries since the beginning of the year, damaging or destroying many storage and export facilities. According to him, some of the 32 Russian refineries, including some of the country's main ones, had suspended part or all of their activities. Molin estimated that Russia did not have the necessary production capacity to export that much diesel and lacked secure storage and export capabilities after the Ukrainian strikes. He also stated that the country was already experiencing a severe shortage and that accepting this agreement would worsen the situation. #Trump #Russie #Pénurie (translated)
