What happened
Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, following the unveiling of a diesel supply deal with Russia. However, Republicans opposed the diesel import arrangement in heated Senate debates. The Trump administration also suspended sanctions on Russian diesel supplies.
Why it matters
The sudden reversal of sanctions on Russian diesel supplies has shocked Kyiv and outraged the EU. The diesel arrangement is drawing scrutiny as Russia continues its war on Ukraine. This policy shift could lead to the release of $100 billion in seized Russian cash assets held by West.
