Great, you get Russia to leave ALL of Ukraine and end the war, then Ukraine can lift martial law and hold elections. When do you think you can get this done?

Trump's losing it. Look at his eyes, the anger, the fear that his messy deal has been rumbled? His words slaughtering Zelenskyy will only unite Ukraine's public like never before. By "make a deal" he means surrender so he can line his family's pockets yet further.

❗️Ain't gonna happen. Washington delivered a “firm demand from the US president” that Ukraine stop strikes on Russian oil refineries, Deutsche Welle reports, citing a senior Ukrainian official. Witkoff and Kushner also raised the possibility of ending US intelligence sharing with Ukraine. #Ukraine

Trump saying Ukraine needs a new leader because Zelenskyy “cannot make a deal” is outrageous. Ukraine is sovereign, not Washington’s puppet. Ukrainians decide who leads their country. Russia started this war, and that fact does not change because Trump finds it inconvenient. Get lost. Idiot.

One senior Ukrainian official responded with bitter humor: “I hope the Americans don’t give them Patriot to protect their oil refineries.” Another said the US move had effectively undermined the idea of an energy truce.

The Kyiv Independent paints a stark picture of how the past few days unfolded. Ukrainian officials say they went to Miami to discuss a reciprocal energy ceasefire, only to be blindsided by Trump’s decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports #Ukraine

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

Of course it won't make a dent in price of diesel, markets react to realities, not pronouncements to help GOP win the middle terms. But there will be a price to pay not least in Ukrainian lives.

Any normal person, let alone a president of the USA, would feel shame and guilt today, but all Trump feels are immunity from the law and his tiny hands on his crypto wallet. President Zelenskyy again had sharp words for the current occupant of the White House, without naming him.

1/ Russian sources expect that as well as purchasing Russian oil and diesel, Donald Trump will provide Russia with spare parts to repair the refineries damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. They anticipate that Trump's fuel deal will lead to a Russian victory. ⬇️

Why did Trump help Putin? The motive is not hard to find. Diesel prices in America have doubled since the war with Iran began in February and the midterms are weeks away, so the man who set the fuel market on fire is now buying the extinguisher from Vladimir Putin and sending the bill to Ukraine.

Question: Does Israel have a right to exist? Correct answer: Your question is racist because it centres the coloniser rather than its victims. It's not Israel whose land is being stolen. It's not Israelis who live under brutal occupation. Ask me about Palestine's right to exist.
