At a glance

The deal may generate up to $1.25 billion in additional export revenue for Russia over three months, despite having limited financial benefits for the country's federal budget.

What the briefing reports

A recent agreement between Trump and Putin will allow Russia to supply the global market with diesel. This deal may raise concerns about Ukraine's leverage and US support, particularly given the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The financial impact of the deal on Russia's federal budget is expected to be relatively small, while funding the war remains a top priority for Putin. The deal could generate significant export revenue for Russia, which may have implications for the country's economy.

Despite the potential financial benefits, the deal may do little for Russia's finances, but it raises bigger questions about Ukraine's leverage and US support. The deal may also have implications for Putin's next moves, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
