UK Rejects Trump's Russian Diesel Deal as Zelensky Faces Leadership Threats
UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting stated that London does not support the US agreement to purchase Russian diesel, arguing it funds Moscow's war effort. While Trump criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky and called for his replacement, UK officials defended Kyiv's leadership. In Washington, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is pursuing a discharge petition to block the deal, while energy analysts remain skeptical that the imports will lower fuel prices.
