Trump announces deal for Russian diesel as Zelensky criticises 'gift to Putin'

US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to immediately release 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by 500,000 tons in November and another million later. A Putin envoy welcomed the deal, but Zelensky criticized it, saying Russia would use the diesel to fund further violence. The US Treasury issued a temporary license for Russian diesel imports shortly after the announcement. The effect on fuel prices remains unclear, with US diesel prices currently averaging $6.28 per gallon.
