Zelenskyy says Russia “thanked” the US for easing diesel sanctions with guided bombs on Zaporizhzhia homes
Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on 10 October that Russia thanked the US for easing diesel sanctions with guided bombs on Zaporizhzhia homes. On 9 October he had said gifts to Putin will not bring peace (ITV News, UNN, Liga.net, Kurs.com.ua). The Treasury licence runs to 7 April 2027.
It shows Kyiv’s lobbying against the easing.
Indirect, via oil prices.
Kyiv says the diesel funds war.
Washington says it is about prices.
A licence is easy to revoke if the political cost grows.
