Ukraine has actually been purchasing discount diesel fuel from Russia for its military this whole time.
Zelensky was greedy enough to piss off a good chunk of Ukraine's generals, as he was taking a greater amount of skim money than they were.

Holy shit lmao. Is that a one off or was it like that the whole war? I'm guessing whole war because how else are you getting fuel into landlocked Afghanistan.

It differed by period. There were times when we supplied Afghanistan through Russia and then -stans. And yes, convoys in warzone needed escorting, often done by PMCs, and that costs money.
as much as 400$ figure seems to be only for airlifting fuel, which wasn't preferred way of doing it. Dunno how often they had to resort to it.
