Ukraine’s allies, and indeed Ukrainians, who see this as some narrow deal over diesel purchases do not get it or are deliberately avoiding reality.
This deal is about the USA getting back to business with Russia—and blaming Ukraine for causing them to do so.

And Russia won’t be able to fulfil the deal if Ukraine continues striking its refineries. Which Europe will back it to do.
