🇺🇸🫠 Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev: There is a whole range of economic and investment projects being discussed with the American side that will be implemented. The diesel deal is one of these projects, and it is extremely important not only for the United States but for the entire world. We will continue, because it's not just uranium that is supplied to the United States. We need to supply more fertilizers, aluminum and rare earth metals. Our list of projects being discussed with the American side also includes various projects in the Arctic, energy projects, LNG projects and other areas. More and more Americans, including within the administration, understand that sanctions harm the United States itself. I can confirm today's news that the U.S. Treasury Department asked the Russian Direct Investment Fund to help with the diesel deal, including processing payments and resolving purely tactical issues related to the deal. The Russian Direct Investment Fund will be involved specifically at the request of the U.S. Treasury Department.

So, Trump ceremoniously signs the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Bill, which is supposed to hit not only the Kremlin directly, but also the main source of money for the war — oil and gas sales. Instead, he strikes a deal, eases sanctions, and starts trading with Russia himself by buying diesel. There are simply no words.
