Trump declared an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. So now, Russia is bombing Kyiv’s energy system with missiles, plunging the city into a complete blackout, while Ukraine isn't bombing Russian oil refineries. Very interesting, very cool.

It's so hard to pick a date when the post-American world really began, because there are so many. Today makes a great candidate, though: right after Trump claimed there was an "energy ceasefire", Kyiv was bombed into another blackout. That's how much Putin despises the weakest American leader ever.

‼️ Russia: "Murmansk, Russia's main ice-free port above the Arctic Circle, previously used for the export of coal, fertilizer, and timber, will ship its first grain shipments in October 2026." 👀 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/09/22/r...
Russia has begun shipping grain across the Arctic Ocean for the first time due to the blockade of Black Sea ports.
2 hours ago
 
Russian exporters are using the Arctic for the first time to deliver grain to buyers, previously shipped abroad through Black Sea ports.

Murmansk, Russia's main ice-free port above the Arctic Circle, previously used for the export of coal, fertilizer, and timber, will ship its first grain shipments in October 2026. According to Reuters, citing market sources, the first 40,000-ton shipment from Stavropol has already been approved by Russian Railways, which will transport the grain over 3,000 kilometers.

"The port is starting to handle grain. Unfortunately, this is a forced situation," Pavel Oleynik, head of Murmansk Commercial Seaport, said on September 21. The Black Sea and Azov Sea ports, through which 80% of Russian grain exports were shipped, were brought to a standstill in July and August due to Ukrainian drones, which attacked more than a hundred vessels and destroyed grain terminals in Azov and Novorossiysk.
