US and Russia reach agreement on Russian diesel exports
US President Donald Trump has agreed to permit Russian diesel exports in a move aimed at restarting peace talks, drawing pushback from Ukraine and US lawmakers.
US President Donald Trump has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing exports of Russian diesel to global markets. During talks in Miami, US envoys informed Ukrainian representatives that the arrangement aims to re-engage Moscow in peace negotiations following previous stalled efforts.
The deal has sparked discontent in Kyiv and generated bipartisan criticism in the US Congress, where lawmakers questioned relaxing trade restrictions while the White House attempts to lower domestic fuel costs. Despite the diplomatic push by Washington, reports indicate Moscow maintains its core demands regarding Ukrainian territory, including control over the Donbas region.
