President Donald Trump said Friday that Russia would supply diesel to the United States and global market under an agreement reached with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the move, saying it would provide Russia with funds for its war in Ukraine.
Trump said Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons afterward. The New York Post reported that the Treasury Department issued a general license permitting companies to buy and sell Russian diesel without U.S. sanctions. Zelensky told Axios the decision was "not fair and not honest," and wrote that gifts to Putin would not bring peace, according to The Hill.
