The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues after the 2022 Russian invasion, with Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and Western sanctions on Moscow, including restrictions on diesel.
The American president, Donald Trump, has once again attacked the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, this Saturday. After the leader of the White House reached an agreement with the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to lift sanctions on the export of Russian diesel, Trump has urged that Ukraine have a new president and has assured that Zelensky should stop "generating problems for the world."
This was highlighted by the president in statements to the press from the Andrews military base, in Maryland. "I think the time has come for Ukraine to have a new president. "I suggest that Ukraine have a new leader who can reach an agreement. "Zelensky for some reason never makes agreements," said Trump, who has also maintained that "Zelensky could have resolved this war many, many times," but "he chooses not to."
In the same sense, his criticisms have not stopped there, since Trump has also declared that Zelensky "wants to cause problems for the world." "He wants to cause problems for our farmers with his attacks against Russian refineries," he said.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have repeatedly attacked Russian oil refineries to try to stop Russia's military offensive on eastern Ukraine. The country has also launched these attacks despite warnings from Washington. "We have told Zelensky. 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, but don't attack the refineries because that is a problem for the world.' And what does it do? It goes and attacks the diesel fuel. "I should stop the damn thing," Trump said.
Zelensky himself, on the other hand, has criticized the "gift" that the suspension of the sanctions that had been imposed on the country's diesel represents for the Russian president: "This plays into Russia's hands, as it allows it to kill more people, prolong the war, have even less respect for the United States and inflict even greater loss and damage on the world."
Agreement with Putin
Trump has announced a "momentous" agreement with his Russian counterpart for Russia to "immediately" supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the US and global markets. This agreement provides for the supply of another 500,000 tons during the month of November and 1,000,000 tons immediately afterwards, as announced by the White House leader.
In addition to Zelensky, the agreement has been harshly criticized by the European Union. This Saturday, the High Representative of Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, declared that lifting these suspensions on Russia means "more income for the war."
"Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenue to fight the (Ukraine) war." "This is not the time to relax pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do so," Kallas said in a post on his social networks.
