A Ukrainian member of parliament, Oleksandr Merezhko, has called a diesel deal between the United States and Russia a betrayal of Ukraine. He spoke to Joel Rose of NPR, the U.S. public radio network, in an interview about how the arrangement will affect Ukraine, a country that has been under a full-scale Russian invasion since 2022.
According to NPR's description, the conversation focused on the consequences of the agreement between Washington and Moscow for Kyiv. The published summary gives no details of the deal's terms, so the volumes or conditions involved are not specified here.
Merezhko sits in Ukraine's parliament. His assessment reflects one lawmaker's view and offers an example of how some political figures in Kyiv see U.S. steps in its dealings with Russia. The full interview is available on NPR's website.
