Top Democrats have accused President Donald Trump of betraying Ukraine along with European allies and the national security of the United States, according to Arab News. Their criticism followed his announcement of an agreement with Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, to secure diesel supplies.

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, condemned the move as a weak choice that might drag out Russia's war on his country. He said the arrangement would serve Moscow's interests by letting it press on with its military campaign, and warned that Russia would repay the United States.
