Zelenskyy says Trump chose wrong side in US-Russia diesel deal

business-standard.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized US President Donald Trump for agreeing to a Russian diesel supply deal, saying Washington chose "the wrong side" and that Ukraine is losing a strong partner. Zelenskyy questioned Trump's advisers and appealed for support in Ukraine's war against Moscow, while Trump defended the arrangement as a way to boost global supplies and ease energy prices. Zelenskyy said Ukraine supported an energy ceasefire as a step toward de-escalation but accused Russia of continuing attacks. The criticism followed Trump's October 11 announcement of an immediate "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, which Kyiv said Moscow violated with overnight strikes on energy facilities, leaving 600,000 people without power.
