'Russian Ship Already In US..': Trump-Putin Fooled EU? | Zelenskyy Protests US-Russia Diesel Deal

A Russian diesel tanker was reportedly already heading toward the United States before Donald Trump publicly announced his fuel-supply agreement with Vladimir Putin — raising a major question: was the US-Russia diesel deal being prepared long before the announcement? The Minerva Zen, reportedly carrying Russian fuel loaded in St. Petersburg, has drawn attention to the timing of the deal and Washington’s temporary relaxation of restrictions on qualifying Russian diesel transactions. Did Trump and Putin reach an understanding behind the scenes, or was this an existing commercial shipment that became eligible under the new authorisation? The timeline has raised questions, but it does not yet prove that the agreement was secretly finalised in advance.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised the move, warning that easing restrictions on Russian energy could benefit Moscow while its war against Ukraine continues. The decision has sparked debate over whether Washington’s attempt to ease fuel-price pressure could weaken Western economic pressure on the Kremlin — and leave Europe facing fresh questions about its strategy toward Russia. Watch the full report for the tanker timeline, the sanctions exemption and the geopolitical fallout of Trump’s latest move.
