Marshall Says Ukraine War Is Driving High Diesel Prices
Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall stated during a debate in Topeka that the war in Ukraine is the cause of high diesel prices, not a war with Iran.
Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 21, 2026 —
Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall said during a debate in Topeka that the war in Ukraine is responsible for high diesel prices, rather than a war with Iran, according to the information provided about the event.
The summary of Marshall’s remarks does not include the date of the debate, the other participants, or the question that prompted his statement. It also does not provide a verbatim quote, supporting evidence, or data on diesel prices. The precise wording of the statement therefore cannot be established from the available information.
Marshall’s comments linked diesel prices to the war in Ukraine and rejected a connection to a war with Iran. The information provided does not clarify what he meant by a war with Iran or identify a specific event involving Iran. It also does not say whether he offered additional explanation during the debate.
No price figures, time period, geographic scope, or sources for the claimed cause were included in the summary. As a result, the remarks can be reported as Marshall’s stated position, but the information available here is not sufficient to independently assess the claim or compare the effects of the conflicts he mentioned.
Further details about the debate and any evidence Marshall cited were not provided. The available account establishes only that he made the statement in Topeka and framed the war in Ukraine, rather than a war with Iran, as the cause of high diesel prices.
