Zelensky feels betrayed by Trump's fuel deal with Russia
Ukrainian President Zelensky said he felt betrayed after US President Trump announced a fuel deal with Russia, calling it a "easy win" for the Kremlin. He expressed regret over losing a strong partner in the US. In an interview with British host Piers Morgan on October 14, Zelensky confirmed feeling betrayed by the Trump administration. He criticized the US-Russia fuel agreement announced last week and also slammed the decision to restrict satellite services provided by Elon Musk's company, warning "people will die." The US temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian fuel on October 9, with Russia agreeing to supply over 300,000 tons of diesel immediately and more later. Trump defended the deal as right for America, while Musk said Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government.
