Overview

Reports of a diesel arrangement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin mark a sharp reported shift from years of U.S. and allied pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine. The move was presented as a response to fuel prices, but prompted opposition from Volodymyr Zelenskyy and criticism from Australia, while a reported Ukrainian strike on a Russian fuel site underscored the continuing conflict.
