Will Ukraine survive the winter? | Russia-Ukraine war | Al Jazeera

As winter approaches, Russia has lifted its ban on diesel exports and plans to sell hundreds of thousands of tonnes to the United States and other countries, as part of a deal negotiated between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. This agreement, which includes a sanctions waiver on Russian fuel, comes amid a global energy crisis and political tensions, especially ahead of the US midterm elections. The move highlights the US's complex stance on the Ukraine conflict and Russia's vital role in the global energy market. Ukraine remains in a fragile state with ongoing losses and an energy crisis threatening its population's survival through the winter.
