Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized US President Donald Trump's recent diesel deal with Russia, calling it a "parody" of peace negotiations and accusing Moscow of not wanting peace. At a European Union summit in Brussels, Zelenskiy emphasized Ukraine's ongoing problems with the SpaceX Starshield satellite system, which is essential for battlefield operations and downing Russian drones.
Despite the challenges, Zelenskiy vowed to maintain his stance towards the US. Trump announced the diesel deal last weekend, which allegedly was aimed at reducing energy prices ahead of the US midterm elections. Zelenskiy accused Putin of using the deal to fund the war. In response, EU leaders emphasized their support for Ukraine and expressed concerns about rising energy prices resulting from the Iran war, highlighting the differences between member states on budget allocation.
