Ukraine war: "Additional revenue to finance the war" - that's what Trump's diesel deal means for Europe
The US President is suspending sanctions on diesel imports from Russia and is calling for the resignation of the Ukrainian President. Europe is showing itself to be helpless and powerless.
US President Donald Trump, accompanied by boxer Mike Tyson, addressed journalists outside the White House, announcing a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import 300,000 tons of diesel. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) subsequently published a document lifting sanctions on Russian diesel until April 2027. Trump later stated that Ukraine needs a new leader who can negotiate an end to the war, suggesting that current leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy has failed to do so. Trump also suggested that Zelenskyy should hold elections.
