Russian media spread false claim on US diesel prices

Original: Russian media falsely claim US diesel prices are already falling because of Trump–Putin deal #Ukraine Russian media fals

Russian state media outlets are pushing a false claim that US diesel prices are already falling as a result of a reported deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Ukraine. No such connection exists in US market data, and the claim is being circulated as disinformation linked to ongoing coverage of the Ukraine war and negotiations around it.

Why now: Fact-checkers and Ukraine observers are flagging fresh Russian disinformation amid renewed discussion of Trump-Putin negotiations on the war.
