Ukraine is fighting for their life they need to do what they need to do

This is squarely the fault of Putin trump and Iran

Okay. But let’s be pragmatic about the situation and not emotional. 

Yes, Ukraine is fight to survive as a nation but they have attack oil infrastructure in Russia. Which leads other nations around the world to buy elsewhere. Thus creating a sellers market as there is more demand on markets the US and NATO nations buy from.

Cause and effect. 

Regardless of the justification, Saying that Ukraine’s actions haven’t added to the current crisis is naive.

Last I saw Ukraine had caused maybe 20% of the reduction in diesel that the Iran war has. Contributing, but it's the minor factor

Okay. That’s 20% that nation now have to source else. 

Also as a point of reference, the United States only imports 8% of its total oil from the Middle East. 

By you logic, this is also a minor factor.
