Zelenskyy slams Trump's Russian diesel deal and Putin's peace stance as 'parody'

moneycontrol.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized US President Donald Trump's diesel deal with Russia, warning it would fund Moscow's war effort, and accused Vladimir Putin of lacking genuine interest in peace talks. Speaking at an EU summit in Brussels, Zelenskyy said the deal puts "more money straight into Putin's pocket" and described Moscow's peace stance as a "parody." He urged European allies to provide at least €70 billion in additional support next year for defence and weapons. The diesel agreement has strained US-Ukraine relations, with Trump blaming Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries for high energy prices. Zelenskyy also noted disruptions to SpaceX's Starshield system, which supports Ukrainian communications, remain unresolved.
