🇺🇸 US-Russia 'Diesel Deal' Faces Backlash, Trump Defends Intelligence Sharing

US President Trump recently announced a relaxation of sanctions against Russia to reach a diesel deal, drawing strong condemnation from Lithuania and Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin has adopted a 'zero-cost delay' strategy, with the Kremlin reiterating 'we are not currently negotiating with Ukraine,' and Russian forces have been heavily bombarding Ukraine overnight. Simultaneously, Ukraine has not received Western early warnings for Russian airstrikes for two consecutive nights, leading to speculation that the US has cut off intelligence sharing. However, President Trump strongly defended the situation today, claiming that the US still maintains intelligence cooperation with Ukraine.
