What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Donald Trump's diesel deal allows Moscow to supply up to 5 million metric tons of diesel to US and global markets in exchange for eased US sanctions on Russian fuel. This deal has been criticized because Russian oil revenue is reportedly funding military deployment. Separately, Kash Patel faced social media backlash for remarks made during disputes between Donald Trump and Kyiv over strikes on Russian oil facilities. José Andrés, whose World Central Kitchen provides aid to Ukraine, also criticized Patel.
