Putin conveyed Iran's view on resolving West Asia conflict to Trump, says Kremlin: Report
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin conveyed Iran’s views to Trump in coordination with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
On Saturday, Russian strikes in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region killed at least 15 people, including three children, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack targeted residential buildings, leaving 16 people wounded. This comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel fuel, a move that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described as a "weak decision."
The deal would see Russia supply over 3 million tonnes of diesel, with additional shipments promised in the following months. Zelensky expressed concern that the deal would enable Russia to continue its war efforts, prolonging the conflict and increasing its resources. The U.S. sanctions law aimed at curbing Russia's oil and gas revenues was signed just a month prior, yet the diesel deal contradicts this stance.
Zelensky accused the U.S. of using Ukraine as a means to manipulate markets and boost domestic fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections.
