NewzUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a newly announced agreement between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that permits Russia to supply diesel to the U.S. and global markets. Zelensky argued that the arrangement provides the Kremlin with additional funding to sustain its war in Ukraine, asserting that such actions undermine peace efforts and calling the move a weak decision that amounts to a gift to Putin.
Domestically, top U.S. Democrats have strongly criticized the deal, accusing President Trump of betraying Ukraine, European allies, and U.S. national security. The agreement has drawn immediate international backlash for its potential economic benefits to Moscow and its perceived contradiction of Western efforts to isolate the Russian economy during the ongoing conflict.
