News24 US analyst Michael Ware criticises US President Donald Trump for “selling out” Kyiv by striking a controversial diesel deal with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. “Once Russia invaded, the oil flow was supposed to stop. Well, who’s turning the tab back on? Of all people, it’s President Trump in a very transactional deal with President Putin,” Mr Ware told News24. “It’s the Russians sitting back and letting President Trump come to them and giving very little to no concession in return. “Selling out Kyiv to ultimately try to stave off or withhold the assault from Iran.”
