The U.S. and Russia reached energy cooperation. Zelensky felt "betrayed" and the U.S. president suggested that Ukraine change its leader.

After a phone call on October 9, the presidents of the United States and Russia announced that they had reached an agreement on Russia’s supply of diesel to the United States, and the U.S. Treasury Department relaxed its diesel trade sanctions on Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly expressed disappointment and said he felt betrayed. Trump did not respond directly but suggested replacing the Ukrainian president the next day. Experts pointed out that this cooperation is tactical but difficult to change the global energy game pattern.
