️🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Axios: US President Trump decided to sign a diesel deal with Russian President Putin after Ukraine ignored several requests to end strikes against Russian diesel infrastructure, which has been straining global supplies.

Trump requested that Kiev unilaterally stop attacks against Russian diesel infrastructure, and did not see Ukraine's attacks on the Russian Ukrainian power grid as equivalent.

A US official says Russia is hitting Ukraine hard, but they believe Putin is open to discussing ending the war. However, Kremlin aide Ushkov told reporters that Putin did not commit to resuming peace talks during his call with Trump.
