President Donald Trump defended an arrangement allowing Russia to supply 300,000 tons or more of diesel to U.S. and global markets and called for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican and co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, said he would introduce the bipartisan Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act and use a discharge petition to force a House vote blocking Russian oil purchases and preventing the lifting of sanctions on Russian energy. The petition requires 218 signatures; retiring Rep. Don Bacon said he would sign and serve as an original cosponsor, while the Democratic sponsors were not immediately clear. Zelensky called the arrangement unfair, dishonest and a gift to President Vladimir Putin, and Democrats and European governments criticized the policy. Energy analysts said the additional fuel was unlikely to materially lower prices, while the measure faces a short timetable, Senate approval and a possible presidential veto.
