Energy experts estimate that the diesel deal struck by Donald Trump could send up to $4 billion of American money into the Russian economy if the plan fully proceeds.

Trump Gives Putin a Hand in Russia’s Economic War With Ukraine

President Trump is moving to buy Russian diesel while also pressuring Ukraine to halt attacks on refineries, a lifeblood of Moscow’s war machine.

The EU has approved sanctions against 1,600 companies and individuals linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex.

According to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, this is the largest expansion of the EU sanctions list since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
