# Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticised a US deal to buy diesel from Russia, saying it will put money into the Kremlin’s war effort. Speaking at a European Union summit in Brussels, he accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of having no genuine interest in peace talks. Zelensky welcomed a bigger role for European leaders in efforts to end the war. EU leaders rallied behind Ukraine amid fears that Washington could reduce military and intelligence support. Zelensky also said Ukraine’s Starshield satellite service was still not fully restored.
