NewzItalian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has criticized a recent agreement between the United States and Russia concerning diesel supplies, labeling the arrangement a "very risky choice" during an address to the Italian parliament. According to the reported details, the U.S. and Russia agreed last week that Moscow would initially supply more than 300,000 metric tonnes of diesel to U.S. and global markets.
Meloni expressed concern that the diesel deal could inadvertently generate revenue that helps finance Russia's ongoing military efforts in Ukraine. In response to these geopolitical and economic risks, the Italian prime minister also urged the European Union to appoint a representative specifically tasked with negotiating peace talks.
