Trump plans Russian diesel imports to ease prices.
Context
What happened: Trump said Putin agreed to release Russian diesel into US and global markets. The US Treasury issued a temporary licence allowing Russian diesel into global markets. Zelenskyy called it "gifts to Putin."
Key numbers: Over 300,000 tons of diesel to be supplied immediately, plus 500,000 tons during November.
Why it matters: Zelenskyy said allowing Russia to sell petroleum products invests in a war that must be ended, not prolonged. The move raises questions over whether further sanctions will be imposed this month under bipartisan legislation.
