‼️ ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, while our teams are meeting in Florida, the U.S. President is having a conversation with the Kremlin leader, the leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover. This is clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision. A weak decision from strong partners. FULL STATEMENT: “Right now, our Ukrainian team, our negotiating team, is in Florida for a two-day visit, holding talks with the American team about ending this terrible war, at minimum regarding a ceasefire. The start of a ceasefire could be an energy ceasefire, an energy-related cessation of hostilities. This is very important for our people, for our families. And at this very moment, while our team is meeting with the American team in Florida, the President of the United States is having a conversation with the Kremlin leader, the leader responsible for this war and this aggression, and they reach an agreement under which America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel fuel. This is additional money for this war. This is additional money for the suffering caused to us, without question. This only fuels Putin and gives him the power to keep fighting even more. And at this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America is giving Russia the opportunity to export diesel fuel. That’s, I don’t know, millions, billions (of dollars). In any case, all of this goes toward the war against our people, against Ukraine, against all of us. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover. And this is clearly unfair. This is clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision. Unfortunately, unfortunately, it is a weak decision from strong partners. Glory to Ukraine!” Ukrainian President on Friday, October 9th, 2026.
