அமெரிக்காவுக்கு ரஷ்ய டீசல் இறக்குமதி: யுக்ரைன் ஜனாதிபதி கடும் கண்டனம்!

On Friday, US President Donald Trump announced that Russia would provide diesel for US and international markets, beginning with 300,000 tonnes immediately. He said subsequent deliveries would include 500,000 tonnes in November, another one million tonnes later, and a further three million tonnes within a short period, depending on the condition of Russian refineries. The Daily News reported that Trump presented lower fuel costs for Americans, including farmers, ranchers and truckers, as a priority.

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak confirmed the shipment figures to Tass, Russia’s state-owned news agency, according to the Daily News. Novak said exports might eventually reach three million tonnes per month. The reports place the announcement amid higher global energy prices linked in part to the Iran war, and note that Ukrainian attacks have damaged Russian oil infrastructure and refineries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the diesel arrangement, saying it would benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin and support a war that should end, according to the Daily News. On Saturday, Trump called for Ukraine to replace Zelenskyy and criticised Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, the Daily Mirror reported.

US lawmakers also objected to the arrangement. On Sunday, seven senators—four Republicans and three Democrats—said it violated US laws and urged Trump to reverse course, according to the Daily News. The outlet reported that the US Treasury was suspending sanctions on Russian diesel exports until 7 April, while other Russian assets, including those held in US banks, remained frozen. The article also said the senators cited legislation restricting support for Russia while its war against Ukraine continued.

Separate headlines from Ada Derana and Hiru News reported that Trump claimed Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire; Ada Derana’s headline said Zelenskyy responded that this was unfamiliar news to him. Those reports provided no further details about the claimed ceasefire.
