  "summary": "Estonia's Prime Minister Kristen Michal has criticized the US decision to strike a diesel deal with Russia. According to ERR News Estonia, Michal said agreements with dictators lead to hell.\n\nThe deal, announced by US President Donald Trump, allows Russia to supply diesel to global markets in an effort to bring down energy prices. However, The National UAE reports that analysts have raised concerns about the deal, citing double standards over Russia's conflict with Ukraine.\n\nUkraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also expressed disappointment with the deal, likening it to a \"birthday present\" for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy felt that allowing Russia to sell its petroleum products would only perpetuate the war, and that a strong answer was needed to end it.",
