US President Donald Trump wants to buy Russian diesel. At the same time, he is pressuring Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian refineries. This is reported by the New York Times.

What has emerged from the report so far

The newspaper describes Trump's approach as a double move: he opens the door for the US as a buyer of Russian energy products while simultaneously taking away from Ukraine a lever of pressure against Moscow's war economy. The report does not cite specific delivery volumes, contract details, or timelines.

The New York Times classifies Russian refineries as the "lifeblood of the war machine." According to the report, exports of oil products such as diesel channel foreign currency into the Russian state budget, which also finances the war of aggression against Ukraine. Should Kyiv actually stop the attacks, a lever with which Ukraine directly targets Moscow's war financing would be eliminated. US imports of Russian diesel would in turn secure additional revenue for Moscow.
