What happened
Donald Trump ended a diesel deal with Russia after Volodymyr Zelesnky ignored repeated American requests to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. This decision followed eight hours of talks in Miami between American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff and Ukrainian negotiators. The envoys had previously warned Ukrainian representatives about the potential removal of sanctions on Russian diesel.

Why it matters
The termination of the diesel deal is linked to concerns that attacks on Russian refineries were driving up energy prices in the United States. The diplomatic action signals a major shift in US-Russia energy policy and increases geopolitical risk in the energy sector.
