The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board criticized President Trump for urging Ukraine to stop striking Russian fuel depots while offering no criticism of a Russian weekend attack on a passenger train near the Polish border. The board's piece, titled ‘Trump Lectures Ukraine, not Russia,’ noted Trump had nothing critical to say about the train strike but found time to warn Zelenskyy against hitting Russian energy supplies.
Trump told reporters Zelenskyy ‘has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,’ tying the request to concerns about global diesel shortages. The board called this framing, which lands the blame for fuel prices on Ukraine amid separate Iranian and Houthi attacks on Mideast oil infrastructure, ‘political excuse-making on a grand scale.’
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
You don't need a war room to notice which side gets the stern talking-to and which side gets a pass, you just need to read the same newspaper twice in one week. A passenger train gets bombed and the president is quiet as a church mouse, but a diesel depot gets hit and suddenly he's got plenty to say. Even his own editorial page, not exactly a den of Ukraine cheerleaders, can do that arithmetic.
