Zelenskyy warns diesel deal between US and Russia could lift all anti-Russian sanctions

Vladimir Zelenskyy expressed concerns that a potential agreement between the US and Russia on diesel supplies could trigger the complete removal of anti-Russian sanctions. He stated that Ukraine is categorically against such arrangements. Zelenskyy believes that if Kyiv turns a blind eye now, fuel deals will be followed by gas agreements, leading to a chain reaction lifting restrictions on Russia's banking system, individuals, chemical industry, and frozen Russian assets.
