Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that trilateral peace negotiations over Ukraine are unlikely to succeed, citing Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow during last month's election as a major setback, according to the Kremlin. Simultaneously, Trump announced a deal involving Russian diesel supplies, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sharply condemned as 'an investment in war that must be ended, not prolonged' and a 'gift to Putin.' Analysts note Trump faces domestic pressure to curb fuel prices ahead of next month's U.S. midterm elections, complicating the diplomatic calculus.
