Can Washington trust Moscow?

The administration temporarily eased fuel sanctions after Trump and Putin agreed to supply diesel to U.S. and global markets, while Ukraine warned of war funding.

  • President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to supply diesel to global markets, temporarily easing sanctions on Russian fuel to facilitate shipments.
  • Trump pressured President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, blaming those attacks for high diesel prices while signaling a shift in American energy policy.
  • Zelenskyy warned that the arrangement provides Moscow with revenue to sustain its ongoing war, questioning whether the move effectively rewards the aggressor despite promises of cheaper energy.
  • Russian strikes in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region recently killed at least 20 people, including children, according to Ukrainian officials, underscoring ongoing violence amid the diplomatic shift.
  • Foreign policy experts continue to debate whether American leaders should evaluate Moscow by its actions rather than promises, as diplomacy requires pressure on the aggressor and protection for the attacked nation.
