Anna wrote that US Senators Schumer, Shaheen, and Warren called Trump's diesel deal with Putin a "total betrayal" of Ukraine and pledged their support to Kyiv. They blamed the Iran war for rising fuel prices in the US and Europe and accused Trump of disregarding the bipartisan will of Congress, which had passed a law just weeks earlier prohibiting the purchase of Russian energy. The senators called for an end to the Iran war instead of financing Russia's war machinery, stating that Putin only responds to strength. Anna recalled that Trump told Zelensky in February 2025 at the White House that he had no cards. Now, Trump is allegedly asking Zelensky for oil with diesel prices exceeding $6 per gallon. According to Anna, Moscow is receiving a sanctions reprieve and new sales markets while Washington is facing accusations of betrayal in its own Senate. She cited a joint statement from the senators, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Arab News, and SRF as sources. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin (translated)
