To everyone BITCHING about President Zelensky hitting Russia's oil terminals, what did you expect after trump stuck a knife in his back while bowing to Putin again?
REMINDER: trump bragged that he'd end that war in 24 hours. That was 628 days ago.
ANOTHER trump fail.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the overwhelming support of the United States Congress, he has the overwhelming support of the American people, and he has the overwhelming support of the Ukrainian people. Russian illegally invaded Ukraine, a sovereign and freedom-loving nation, and Russia is squarely to blame for all damage and destruction, to both lives and treasure, that has resulted from Putin’s unprovoked attack.
@ZelenskyyUa, you know that the United States Congress, and the American people, stand 100% behind you. The Ukrainian people are so blessed to have you leading them in these difficult times. We have your back, and we will stand with you until Ukrainian victory is achieved. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Ahoj @USEmbassyPrague , zaslechl jsem, že se vaše země posunula od vydíraní napadené Ukrajiny k přímé podpoře ruSSkého agresora.
Vám nejspíš hanba není, ale měla by být.
A senior Ukrainian official involved in the talks responded with bitter humor.
"I hope the Americans don't give them Patriots to protect their oil refineries," the official said.
A great read by @timzadorozhnyy for @KyivIndependent on the U.S. talks. https://t.co/7mrRLD3n3v
I spoke earlier to my Ukrainian counterpart, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, after another day of appalling Russian air attacks against Ukraine.
I expressed my gratitude to him for welcoming me earlier this week and our continued solidarity with the people of Ukraine. The UK stands shoulder to shoulder with them and will continue to do so until they prevail.
AMERICANS!!!!!!
People, be human!!!! And understand that WE are human.
The people of Ukraine are FLESH AND BLOOD. Our children are under threat from hundreds of russian drones and missiles.
Our brave lads - sons, brothers, cousins, nephews - risk their lives EVERY DAY on the front lines.

It was right during Russia’s ballistic attack on Kyiv today that we spoke with the President of France. Thank you, Emmanuel, for your support.
The need for additional air defense packages for Ukraine is evident, and we are working with all our partners to secure the necessary decisions. Unfortunately, the threat of further missile strikes remains particularly high in the coming days. It is important to step up pressure on Russia in response, and bold, joint steps must be taken.
We discussed the challenges posed by the easing of sanctions on oil products. The Russians must feel that they will have no capacity left to prolong the war. We are coordinating substantively and preparing meetings. Thank you, France!

Trump è ora ufficialmente alleato con Vladimir Putin e la Russia.
Finanzieranno la guerra della Russia in cambio dell'aiuto di Putin a Trump e al Partito Repubblicano nelle elezioni di midterm.
Uno dei giorni più vergognosi e disgustosi nella storia del mondo occidentale. Trump è un traditore.
Slava Ukraini, sempre!
This is very shameful for me and should be for all Americans. A President selling out an entire country to advance his political ambitions. Ukrainian civilians are being attacked and killed every day. Trump can try and stop it. Instead he is doing business. Blood Money. Shame.
A Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy claims that Ukraine has killed “a million kids on the Russian side.” Perhaps she could provide a source for that staggering claim. Surely, an accusation this monstrous comes with evidence? Or is there none?
Russia is going to use all of the money they receive from providing the US with Diesel to keep killing Ukrainians and helping Iran attack Americans.
Don’t forget, Iran is actively offering a bounty for the President’s head while they provide Iran with satellite images to kill Americans.
What allowing Russia to sell oil products means was heard most clearly in Kyiv just now, when, after repeated attacks on energy facilities with jet-powered “shaheds,” Russia launched a ballistic missile attack as well. Some of the missiles were intercepted. This once again clearly demonstrates Russia’s true intentions. They count on prolonging the war, terrorizing ordinary people, and destroying infrastructure.
Every additional billion dollars they can earn from exports will be spent on nothing but sourcing and importing critical components and equipment to manufacture weapons, upgrading “shaheds,” producing missiles, and recruiting even more mercenaries to fight at the front. Russia’s choice is war. And they will be ready to end it only when they feel that their ability to drag the war out is diminishing.
Unfortunately, the signals Russia received yesterday were entirely different – signals suggesting that it could simply keep attacking. And this needs to be corrected. Strong signals are needed from the United States, Europe, and other partners – signals in support of Ukraine and to RESTRICT Russia’s ability to wage war and terrorize people. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!
Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies.
Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.
This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t.
On Monday, EU Foreign Ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting Russia’s war machine since the start of the war.
Just a few weeks ago Congress overwhelmingly voted to impose new, strict sanctions on the sale of Russian oil, which is funding Putin’s fascist war against Ukraine.
Trump’s undermined our national power in his announced plans to buy Russian oil because: a) it won’t actually bring down prices; and b) we’re now funding the war against Ukraine.
Mr. President, if you want to help the American people by bringing down the high cost of diesel, end your war with Iran.
