The US president on Friday struck a deal to buy Russian diesel, upending years of sanctions against Moscow, though it was not evident that Vladimir Putin could fulfil his end of the deal, given he is struggling to fuel his own economy.
Mr Zelensky had criticised Mr Trump’s deal, saying it “plays into Russia’s hands” and would prolong the war.

Trump’s announcement was in stark contrast to a sweeping Russia sanctions law he signed last month that aimed at clamping down on the oil and gas revenues that fuel Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Independent estimates are that about 20% of Ukraine’s territory is under Russian control.
