(Reuters) - The United States has urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, warning that drone strikes risk provoking retaliation and driving up global oil prices, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The attacks helped boost oil prices that have risen nearly 4% so far since March 12, when Ukraine first started targeting Russia's energy infrastructure. A further rally in gasoline prices in the United States would weaken President Joe Biden ratings and undermine his re-election chances. [O/R]

Russia and Ukraine have both used drones to strike critical infrastructure, military installations and troop concentrations in their more than two-year war, with Kyiv hitting Russian refineries and energy facilities in recent months.

Let’s NOT give for granted that media tell/write the truth!! Ukrain can destroy whatevere they can but that will not cause any price change in oil. It’s Opec and the US that move prices by reducing or expanding extraction. NOT UKRAIN bombs. Lies just lies upon lies! Wake up don’t trust govts or msm. Never!

If US delivers on its promises of military aid to ukraine then US has an influence otherwise Ukrainian should not stop attacking russian refineries. They need to ensure to level the balance so that russia are not constantly outgunning ukraine. Make sure the military aid bill goes through congress no matter how then US has influence otherwise its just talk.
When you pay their military and provide weapons then its normal to call the shots. Its all about self interest not for charity.....
if this is not a signal to buy a crude oil stocks then I don`t know on what are you waiting for ....
so putin can strike whatever he wants and ukranians have to fight with tied hands. Nice.
the difference is the Ukrainian they need American money to survive, so more expensive oil means more spending for the Americans = less money for Ukrainians. a quiete straight forward equation
Every action by Dems is to stay in power by any means… pathetic
What!!! So Ukraine has to prioritize Bidens re-election? Crazy US control freaks.
If you just realised then its too late. Ukraine leader is total under biden admins control now.
Its clear that its not a war of Ukraine against Russia but USA against Russia :)  Ukraine is just a victim of USA corrupted democratic party which used this opportunity to have their proxy war in Europe, that will not harm their territories etc..
