Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed outrage over a deal struck between former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which allegedly benefits Russia by providing the country with funds for its war efforts. The agreement, which allows Russia to sell diesel fuel on the international market, was announced while Ukrainian negotiators were in Miami for peace talks.
Zelenskyy accused Washington of aiding Russia's war efforts and warned that any easing of sanctions would enable Russia to continue its aggression.
