> Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, temporarily easing US sanctions on Moscow and alarming Ukraine and its allies. Experts say the shipments are too small to affect US fuel prices, suggesting Trump mainly wants to show voters he is addressing the issue. Kyiv and EU countries fear Russia will use the revenue to fund its war against Ukraine.
