Donald Trump announced a deal to immediately purchase 300,000 tonnes of Russian diesel fuel, with plans for additional purchases. This decision was linked to skyrocketing fuel costs. Volodymyr Zelensky described the deal as "weak," "unfair," and "dishonest," stating it resembled a "happy birthday present for Putin".

The purchase of Russian diesel is tied to high fuel costs resulting from the war in Iran. Critics suggest the policy prioritizes American gas prices over the situation in Ukraine. The move impacts global commodity markets and energy supply chains.
