On October 9, Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin to supply diesel to the American and global markets.
This announcement comes three weeks before the midterm elections, a sensitive period for the American president.
It also coincides with the presence in Miami of Ukrainian negotiators and European representatives meeting with American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticized this decision, calling it “unworthy.”
