Peskov contrasted Trump\u2019s position with that of Europe, which, he said, was doing everything it could to hinder a peaceful settlement.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIn contrast, Trump is much more constructive. He is, in the good sense of the word, quite cynical. In terms of \u2018why fight if you can trade\u2019.

May they have a long and prosperous future together!\u201d Trump wrote in a social media post accompanying a photo of the three leaders together at Xi\u2019s summit in China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Russian oil and gas<\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li>US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he is not worried that any Russian sales of gas to China would harm US exporters. Russia and China gave their blessing earlier this week to a gas pipeline called Power of Siberia 2, underscoring Xi\u2019s disregard for Western demands that he row back from a deepening partnership with Moscow.<\/li>\n<li>President Zelenskyy said Ukraine would continue to respond reciprocally to Russian attacks on its energy facilities, despite criticism from Slovakia and Hungary, which have suffered Russian oil supply disruptions as a result of Kyiv\u2019s strikes. Zelenskyy spoke after holding his first high-level talks with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with whom he has clashed over Russian energy supplies in the past.<\/li>\n<li>Slovakia, along with Hungary, has continued to buy Russian gas and oil through the Druzhba pipeline, even as other European Union countries cut ties over Moscow\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li>The EU is sticking to its plans to phase out Russian oil by January 2028, the bloc\u2019s energy chief Dan Jorgensen told the Reuters news agency, adding that he had not faced pressure from Washington to bring forward this deadline.<\/li>\n<li>Hungary and Slovakia oppose the EU\u2019s phase-out plan, saying it would hike energy prices and could lead to shortages.<\/li>\n<li>Jorgensen said he was in talks with Hungary and Slovakia about their concerns, but EU countries could approve the phase-out plans without them. \u201cIf, for domestic reasons, there are countries that don\u2019t feel that they can support it, then this is not something that demands unanimity,\u201d he said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are the key events on day 1,290 of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.
