Exclusive: Ukraine fears Trump could grant Russia long-sought relief for fertilizer industry

Ukrainian officials express concern that President Trump may offer sanctions relief to Russia, particularly regarding its fertilizer industry, following a controversial diesel deal with Putin. This potential move aligns with Trump's strategy of providing economic incentives to encourage Russia to cease hostilities in Ukraine. The diesel agreement has already faced bipartisan criticism and raised legal questions in the U.S. Congress. Ukrainian President Zelensky warns that such concessions could embolden Russia and undermine efforts for peace, as Moscow has long sought relief from restrictions on its agricultural exports. The situation remains fluid, with no specific sanctions identified for potential lifting.
