Poroshenko slams U.S. Russian fuel waiver, saying it won't lower global diesel prices

Petro Poroshenko, a member of Parliament and leader of the European Solidarity party, criticized the U.S. decision to allow Russian diesel fuel purchases, stating it won't lower global diesel prices. Poroshenko believes Russia will view the U.S. move as a sign of weakness in enforcing sanctions. He emphasized that funding Ukraine also means defunding Russia and weakening it.

Poroshenko expressed disappointment in the U.S.'s statement about diesel fuel, but reassured that it will have no effect on the global diesel price, as the world consumes four million tons of diesel daily, with only 300,000 tons of Russian fuel being affected monthly. He warned that supporting Ukraine's resistance is an investment in Europe's security and emphasized unity, stating that only by standing together can results be achieved.

Poroshenko cautioned the U.S. to not believe Putin, as he sees such actions as weakness, rather than goodwill. He also urged the U.S. not to be afraid of Putin and stressed the importance of maintaining unity for achieving results.
