Trump said he and Putin had agreed that Russia could immediately supply diesel to global markets, with 300,000 tonnes to be delivered now, 500,000 in November and another 1 million later. Zelenskyy said easing sanctions would help Moscow and prolong the war. Trump predicted a sharp fall in diesel prices.
Trump says he is easing sanctions on Russia and that Putin will release diesel supplies.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington had reached a deal to buy diesel from Russia, reversing years of U.S. pressure on Moscow over its war with Ukraine. The move is also intended to address high fuel prices before the U.S. midterm elections.
US President Donald Trump said Russia had agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US and global markets to help lower fuel prices ahead of November’s midterm elections.
