U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Russia would immediately release diesel supplies onto global markets, saying the move was intended to ease fuel prices amid disruption linked to the war in Iran. The Indian Express reported that the arrangement covers 36 million barrels of Russian diesel.
Trump later declared on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an “energy ceasefire” effective immediately and urged both sides not to violate it. The Irish Times reported, however, that Moscow and Kyiv initially appeared unaware of such an agreement, while The Mirror said Trump’s post offered no details or evidence that Russia had accepted it.
The announcement followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for a ceasefire and Trump’s demand that Ukraine halt drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. The Irish Times reported that Trump also suspended sanctions on Russian diesel exports and called for Ukraine to choose a new president.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis questioned whether the diesel arrangement complies with a 2022 U.S. law banning Russian oil imports unless specified conditions are met, including Russia’s withdrawal from occupied Ukrainian territory.
The policy drew criticism that renewed Russian energy sales could provide Moscow with additional revenue during its war in Ukraine. Separately, temporary restrictions on military Starlink services disrupted some Ukrainian operations this week before service was restored Thursday, according to The i Paper.
