đșđžđșđŠ The diesel deal had a backstory: Trump reportedly moved after Zelensky ignored half a dozen requests to STOP HITTING Russian refineries
Six requests, eight hours of talks in Miami, a 90-minute call with Putin, and Kyiv blindsided by the result...
A US official says Trump wanted Ukraine to halt refinery strikes on its own because they were driving up American fuel prices, while Zelensky would only stop if Russia quit bombing Ukraine's power plants.
Zelensky on the deal:
"Not fair and not honest."
A Ukrainian official claims US envoys threatened to cut off intelligence sharing, which Washington flatly denies.
So who's right, the side protecting American drivers or the side protecting its power grid?
Putin still won't commit to restarting peace talks, so unless this diesel buys real concessions from Moscow, Washington risks straining ties with Kyiv for a few weeks of cheaper fuel.
