After Russian Diesel Deal, Trump Faces New Crisis Over Ukraine
Reported by NYT World News · October 12, 2026
Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine continued after President Donald Trump said there was a cease-fire on strikes against energy infrastructure.
Neither Ukraine nor Russia had confirmed such an agreement, and Ukrainian officials disputed Trump’s account, according to PBS.
Trump also drew criticism after suspending sanctions on Russia, a move linked in the report’s headline to a Russian diesel deal.
Trump blamed high energy prices on Ukraine rather than the war in the Middle East, PBS reported.
