President Joe Biden on Sunday said he hoped Republicans would “keep their word” about support for Ukraine, after he signed a 45-day stopgap government funding measure that did not include the $24 billion he sought for Ukraine through the end of the year. “I hope my friends on the other side keep their word about support for Ukraine.

he EU may have a plan to ban all Russian diesel purchases in February, but in the meantime, European buyers are happy to pay more for Russian diesel now than they did back in May, industry sources told Reuters. The ban on Russian seaborne diesel imports, set to go into effect as part of a larger strategy to cut off Russia’s revenue stream, follows the EU’s crude oil ban set to go into effect in December.
