Zelensky predicts further sanctions relief for Russia after US diesel deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky predicted that the easing of US sanctions on Russian diesel fuel could mark the beginning of broader sanctions relief for Moscow. Zelensky stated that the diesel deal is "the first step" and that sanctions removal will continue, expressing concern that Washington may agree to further concessions toward Russia. The Ukrainian leader made these remarks during a conversation with Ukrainian journalists, warning that such a policy could lead to a gradual reduction of sanctions pressure on Moscow.
