The US is using the diesel deal as an incentive to end the conflict in Ukraine.

The US-Russia diesel deal should show Moscow that it will benefit financially if it ends the conflict in Ukraine, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Tuesday. "Look at it as an incentive to end the war, which also helps supply diesel to world markets," he said in an interview with CNBC, talking about the diesel deal.
