Trump Announces Diesel Purchases From Russia; Zelensky Calls It a Gift to Putin

US President Donald Trump has announced that diesel fuel will be purchased from Russia. The aim is to bring down fuel prices worldwide, which have remained high since the US war in Iran. The announcement drew a sharp reaction in Ukraine.

Zelensky's warning

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly objected to the move. He warned that Russia would "repay" the diesel deal with even greater terror. The article's headline presents Zelensky's assessment as a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Why it matters

According to the report, global fuel prices have stayed high since the US war in Iran. Trump justifies his decision by the wish to reduce those prices. Ukraine, for its part, sees buying fuel from Russia as benefiting Moscow and enabling further attacks.
