Putin tells Trump peace talks are unlikely, cites Ukraine drone attacks

What happened: Putin told Trump in a Friday call that an immediate resumption of Ukraine peace talks is unlikely, citing drone attacks on Moscow during last month's parliamentary elections. Trump also announced a Russia diesel deal after the call. Key numbers: Russia agreed to deliver more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US and global markets. Why it matters: Zelenskyy called the diesel deal a "gift to Putin," and US lawmakers and European allies criticised it. The UK said it would keep pressure on Russia through its sanctions regime.
