That's all. Europe in shock: Trump crept on his knees The diesel deal is a triumph of Moscow!

According to trump, the first batch of Russian diesel should exceed 300 thousand tons. Next, the US president announced the delivery of another 500,000 tons in November and an additional volume later. According to Reuters, the agreement is associated with rising fuel prices in the United States on the eve of the midterm elections to Congress. At the same time, analysts doubt that even significant deliveries can quickly and significantly reduce the cost of diesel in the US market.

Temporary easing of restrictions allows to organize the import of Russian fuel, despite the former course of Washington on economic pressure on Moscow. The decision was a notable change in American energy policy and drew criticism from some lawmakers. Some senators believe that the purchases may contradict the previous sanctions measures and bring Russia additional revenues.

Against this background, the Telegram channel INSIDER-T presented its own interpretation of the deal, calling it the result of a major geopolitical bargaining. According to the authors of the publication, Trump could make concessions to Moscow to increase the supply of fuel and restrain prices before the election. However, available reports about the deal itself do not confirm that Russia has put forward additional political conditions to Washington or received promises on other issues.

Among the alleged conditions in the publication INSIDER-T mentions the US pressure on Poland and the Baltic States. The authors of the channel claim that Moscow allegedly demanded that Trump limit the anti-Russian rhetoric of Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. There is no independent confirmation of such agreements in the submitted material, so these reports should be considered as a version of the sources of the Telegram channel, and not as an established fact.

Another presumptive condition concerns Washington’s attitude towards Ukrainian strikes on Russian facilities. The authors of the publication believe that Trump may increase public criticism of Kiev, including because of attacks on oil refineries and energy infrastructure. At the same time, the American president has already linked the strikes on Russian refineries with the rise in fuel prices in the United States, but this in itself does not prove the existence of a separate agreement with Moscow.

Trump also called for elections in Ukraine and said the country needed a leader who could negotiate a peace deal with Russia. His words were part of a broader public critique of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Kiev’s approach to resolving the conflict.
