One member of the Kyiv delegation in Miami darkly joked that the US might hand over Patriot air defense systems to Russia to protect oil refineries following the announcement of a diesel deal between Washington and Moscow. Kyiv negotiators were stunned by the news and were not notified in advance.

According to Bild, agreements between US and Russian Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on the supply of diesel fuel could bring the Russian treasury about $6.7 billion with the sale of 4.8 million tons at a price of $1,400 per ton, although the exact receipts for Putin’s military fund cannot be calculated.

The Italian League party said that US President Donald Trump's comments about the need to change the leadership of Ukraine and a ban on attacks on oil refineries in Russia are the latest alarm signal for the leadership of the European Union, calling on Brussels to abandon ideological decisions and focus on achieving peace. The party also noted that a number of European countries and the United States itself continue to purchase Russian energy resources.
