Trump says Russia agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel to the US and global markets

US President Donald Trump has said that Russia has agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel to the United States and to global markets. He also blamed Ukraine for higher fuel prices, although, according to the Euromaidan Press report, the price rises are driven by the war involving Iran. The statement matters because it ties fuel prices to Washington's stance on Ukraine's military campaign against Russia.

Pressure on Kyiv

The announcement comes as Trump pressures Kyiv to halt attacks on Russian oil infrastructure. Ukraine targets these facilities to weaken Moscow's war economy, the sector that helps fund Russia's war against Ukraine.

What the report does not say

The available report does not specify delivery volumes, timelines, terms, or how the fuel would reach the US and other markets. It also does not say whether Russia has confirmed the arrangement.
