Donald Trump says fuel "prices are coming down sharply" amid unconfirmed Russia-Ukraine energy deal

President Donald Trump posted that fuel costs would soon fall sharply, tying the anticipated drop to a purported deal between Russia and Ukraine to cease strikes on energy facilities; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded that no such arrangement had been finalized and questioned Russia’s willingness to honor any pact. The statement arrived as U.S. diesel prices reached unprecedented levels after Russian refinery attacks and a ban on diesel exports, while market movements were modest and prices stayed elevated. Analysts said that without confirmation from the involved parties, expectations for lower fuel prices remain uncertain, and the matter carries political weight ahead of the forthcoming congressional elections.
