WorldMeloni says Trump’s diesel deal ‘legitimizes Moscow’ as it bombs Ukraine

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the U.S. deal to buy Russian diesel “very risky,” saying it legitimizes Moscow and generates revenue for its war while Russian bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities. She said fuel-price increases stem mainly from the war in Iran, not the Ukraine conflict. Volodymyr Zelensky thanked her for her clear stance.
