Trump points the finger at Zelensky and says "that guy in the green t-shirt is to blame for diesel prices, I had nothing to do with it." Basic blame-deflection.
Zelensky is reported to have turned down a direct request from Trump to stop Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries. The dispute centers on global diesel prices, with Kiev pushing instead for a mutual halt on strikes against energy infrastructure. Zelensky Reportedly Rejects Trump's Refinery Request According to the channel, Zelensky said he refused a request from Trump to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries. No full statement from Zelensky confirming a flat refusal has yet appeared in mainstream outlets. Earlier, Kiev responded to Trump's calls by proposing a deal with Moscow to stop mutual strikes on critical infrastructure, rather than a one-sided halt. Sources: Ukr Leaks · Ukrainska Pravda "Diesel, Diesel, Diesel": The September 20 Call Trump raised the refineries repeatedly during a phone call with Zelensky on September 20, linking the strikes to rising global diesel prices. A senior Ukrainian official on the call told the Financial Times that Trump's main message was diesel, and that he wanted Russian fuel supplies to reach the world market to bring relief. Zelensky called it an important conversation and said the New York meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly could change a lot. Sources: Axios · Financial Times · Irish Times A Public Push, and a Reversal of Tone Trump had already urged the halt publicly on September 13 while at his golf course in Ireland, saying there are plenty of other targets and that hitting diesel is hurting the world. The following day he claimed Ukraine had agreed not to hit Russian energy facilities, a claim Kiev did not confirm. In July, speaking alongside Zelensky at a NATO summit, Trump had described the same strikes as an escalation that could help lead to an end of the war. Sources: The Hill · Fox News · Euromaidan Press Why the Refineries Matter Ukrainian drone strikes have hit Russian refineries for months, contributing to fuel rationing in parts of Russia and a Russian ban on diesel exports in July. Reuters reported that half of Russia's six largest diesel refineries cut output or shut lines in September, including Kirishi, Volgograd and Nizhny Novgorod. The pressure on Russian refining comes on top of reduced shipments through the Strait of Hormuz since the Iran war began, and U.S. diesel prices have reached record highs ahead of November's midterms. Sources: Reuters · Fox News · Daily Beast Energy Truce on the Table in New York Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said a key outcome of the Trump–Zelensky meeting could be ceasefires covering both energy infrastructure and the Black Sea. In New York, Trump said he would discuss the refinery strikes with Zelensky directly. Moscow has not commented publicly on the reported refusal.

Two of Kiev's fibre internet providers are having a bad day. Ripping the digital nerves right out of the Kiev business community is going to leave a mark.

Just found out about the existence of the website busification.org/en, which has archived nearly 10,000 clips of Ukrainian civilians documenting the shocking reality of forced conscription in Ukraine. This should dispel any lingering doubts anyone may have about the nightmare Ukrainians are experiencing at the hands of Zelensky’s brutal Western-backed, Nazi-supported regime.

You’re more than welcome to go through my thread and try to debunk the documented fact that multiple Western leaders explicitly stated that NATO would not move eastward toward the Soviet borders. And before you start with “but it wasn’t written into a treaty,” that’s not the claim. The claim is that these assurances were explicitly made, and the diplomatic records documenting them exist. Just FYI, the Budapest memorandum wasn’t ratified either. That’s why it’s called a memorandum, not an agreement. nitter.cf/rinalu_/status/1904555…
The biggest con of the century: Western leaders’ assurance to the USSR - ‘Not an inch to the east.’ That’s what they told Gorbachev. American, German, British, French leaders even NATO all gave their word back in the early ’90s: NATO wouldn’t move eastward after Germany reunited. The Cold War was ending, and Moscow was stepping back peacefully, without a fight, believing that the West would now turn toward peaceful cooperation instead of confrontation. They trusted the West. Pulled troops out. Let Eastern Europe go. Dissolved the Warsaw Pact. All in the name of building a new world: one based on peace and partnership. In return? Just words. Vague assurances. No formal treaties. No signatures. And then? Everything changed. Year after year, NATO crept east. Poland. Hungary. The Czech Republic. Then the Baltics. And finally, talk of Ukraine and Georgia, right on Russia’s doorstep. That old promise? Suddenly it was “never written down,” “misunderstood,” or “not legally binding.” What was once a guarantee became a ghost. To Russia, it felt like betrayal. To the West, just strategy. But trust was gone, and the consequences are still unfolding today. Let’s look at the actual memorandums of these promises.🧵👇

Drone warfare is so bad that elite Western war tourists don't want to save Ukraine any more. How bad is it? Bad enough that they yearn for the days of trench warfare. All their fancy soldiering kills are no match for swarms of flying grenades that can snuff them out by name.

Busified Ukrainians are being transported in caged vehicles, just in case they get the urge to survive.
A Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Onistrat showed a bus with bars, in which mobilized men are transported under armed escort to prevent them from escaping to the "no-man's land." He believes that otherwise, the men would try to escape on the road to the training facility.

Assuming this isn't satire, one wonders how Ukrainian women are supposed to appeal to the Almighty in the throes of childbirth. After all, "Oh, God!" is «Ой, Боже!» in both Ukrainian and Russian. And what happens to violators, do their babies get pitchforked into a dumpster?
🇺🇦 🗣️ 🚫 The Lvov Perinatal Center prohibits women from shouting in Russian during childbirth allowing only the state language. The main fight is against Russian, but sure Hungarian Bulgarian Romanian women are also prohibited from shouting in their native languages. + Vyshivanka

I AM NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE, AMONG THOSE LOOKING FOR A PRETEXT FOR WAR BETWEEN NATO AND RUSSIA I respect that Czech President Petr Pavel, as a former NATO general, would like to fight. I would therefore appreciate it if he respected the fact that I prefer peace. Czech President Petr Pavel, whom I have always treated with respect and due regard as the head of the sovereign Czech Republic, often tends to comment on my work. This time, he took issue with my position on attempts to provoke a military conflict between NATO and Russia. I understand that, as a former NATO general, he would like to fight. I expect him to respect my commitment to pursuing peace. Let me therefore repeat once again, so that there can be no doubt: 1️⃣ The West’s military rhetoric and the search for a pretext for a military conflict with Russia are intended to distract from the liberal world’s inability to address basic challenges such as the price and availability of energy and fuel, as well as illegal migration. 2️⃣ As long as I am Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, I will not agree to Slovak soldiers taking part in any military adventure provoked by anyone within NATO. 3️⃣ In the event of an actual armed attack against one or more NATO member states, the relevant Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty provides NATO members with several options for demonstrating solidarity.

People love pointing to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as proof Russia and Nazi Germany were allies. August 23, 1939. Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany signed a non-aggression treaty. Secret protocols divided Eastern Europe between them. A month later they invaded Poland together. Germany took the west, Soviets took the east. That's the simple version. Here's what led to it: Stalin spent years trying to build an alliance with Britain and France against Hitler. Failed every time. Because Britain and France had a different plan: let Germany and Russia fight, then step in when both are weak. March 1939. Hitler took Czechoslovakia. Britain and France did nothing. Just like they did nothing when Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland. Or annexed Austria. Or demanded the Sudetenland. August 1939. Britain and France sent a low-level delegation to Moscow for alliance talks. No decision-making authority. Took them five days to get there by slow boat. They weren't serious. Stalin realized he was being set up. If war started, Russia would face Germany alone while Britain and France watched. So he made his own deal. Push the border west. Buy time to prepare. Let Hitler deal with the West first. Was it cynical? Yes. Did it work? For two years. Then Germany invaded anyway in June 1941 with the largest invasion force in history. Here's the part Western history skips: 27 million Soviets died destroying Nazi Germany. The Eastern Front was 80% of the war. D-Day was a side show compared to Stalingrad and Kursk. But we still focus on the two years Russia had a deal with Hitler instead of the four years they bled fighting him. And here's the real hypocrisy: everyone condemns the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact for dividing Poland. Fair enough. But nobody talks about the Munich Agreement in 1938 when Britain and France gave Hitler Czechoslovakia without Czechoslovakia even being at the table. Czechoslovakia was a democracy. Had a modern army. Had alliances with France and Soviet Russia. Britain and France sold them out to avoid war. So when Russia made the same calculation a year later, suddenly that's the unforgivable crime?

Meaghan Mobbs comments on Ukrainian who sadly drowned while evading busification: "Died a coward. Could have died a hero." A hero for who? Your banderite soulmates?
Volodymyr, 32, drowned while fleeing draft officers. The incident took place in Kudashivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, where the man ran into a patch of reeds while trying to escape draft officers. According to a fisherman who witnessed the incident, the officers demanded that Volodymyr come out and threatened him with firearms. He refused to comply. He was later reported missing. At some point, Volodymyr attempted to swim to the opposite bank, but disappeared beneath the water. Divers later recovered his body at a depth of approximately five meters, about 20 meters from the shore. He is survived by his wife and little son.

Question for those who claim Russian elections are predetermined: if true, then why do Westerners think striking Russia during an election would change the outcome?

The honorable thing for Merz to do would be to resign. Of course he won't though, because that requires an honorable person.

She signed the bomb that killed children in Gaza.
China is arming Russia with drone parts used to kill Ukrainians. China is arming Iran with satellite imagery to target U.S. military bases. Xi knows exactly what he's doing and should be held accountable.

Q: If Russian elections have predetermined outcomes -- as our Western political ruling class asserts constantly -- then what did they think a massive drone strike during an election would accomplish?

"Donbas -- the Heart of Russia" If not for a primitive form of xenophobic nationalism that demands strict linguistic and cultural homogeneity, Donbas and Crimea would still be part of Ukraine. The West, mainly Washington, poured fuel on this brand of extremist nationalism, providing it with billions of dollars in support, knowing perfectly well that it would precipitate a crisis and provoke a strong reaction from Russia. And it did, on multiple levels, from national security to basic human rights. Now a terrible historical mistake is being corrected by Russia, also on multiple levels.
