Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky says Trump's pause on Russian diesel sanctions means "suffering on us"
“more money to inflict suffering on us”
Reported October 10, 2026 by inquirer.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern over actions that he believes empower Russia's ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that former President Donald Trump has suggested suspending sanctions on Russian diesel exports, a move intended to lower fuel prices in the United States. This proposal, made during a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, has drawn criticism for potentially increasing Russia's financial capacity for military operations and for undermining efforts to pressure Moscow into a ceasefire. Zelensky's administration reportedly views such measures as enabling further aggression and causing harm to Ukraine.
