‘It’s very embarrassing for the European elite’ — Andrea Lucidi on Trump’s Russia deal

Trump’s diesel deal with Russia has exposed a divide over energy, sanctions and support for Kiev.

Italian war correspondent Andrea Lucidi argues the agreement has fuelled Ukrainian fears of losing US support while putting European leaders under pressure over high fuel prices.

He discusses Ukraine’s reliance on American weapons and intelligence, the consequences of restrictions on satellite communications, and why depending on a private company creates military vulnerabilities.
