Ukrainekrieg: „Zusätzliche Einnahmen, um den Krieg zu finanzieren“ – das bedeutet Trumps Diesel-Deal für Europa
Der US-Präsident setzt die Sanktionen für Dieselimporte aus Russland aus und fordert den Abtritt des ukrainischen Präsidenten. Europa zeigt sich fassungs- und machtlos.
In Washington, President Donald Trump, accompanied by former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, addressed waiting journalists outside the White House. Trump declared, "This is a huge deal, and I want to thank Vladimir Putin," during an interview on Friday. Prior to this, Trump had announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the import of 300,000 tons of diesel initially.
Simultaneously, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published a document that lifted all sanctions, which were aimed at Russian diesel fuel, until April 2027. Later in the weekend, Trump made yet another statement that could potentially cause diplomatic embarrassment: "I believe it's time for Ukraine to get a new leader," he said, implying someone who could end the war.
Trump noted that despite numerous opportunities, President Zelensky "has never done it for whatever reason." He added, "I think he should hold elections."
