The Wall Street Journal had reported that Ukraine had given in to pressure from the White House to stop bombing Russian energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian officials, however, told the Kyiv Independent newspaper that they never agreed to a demand from Jared Kushner, the US president’s son-in-law, to pause refinery strikes for 30 days. The raids on Russia restarted on Friday, Kremlin officials said, complaining that Kyiv was now “simply ignoring” US wishes.
Trump has blamed the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for the rise in global fuel prices, and last month lifted US sanctions on Russian diesel.

Felon rapist president.
They’ll stop in 2030 as soon as they get the Patriots the US has sold them.
Terrible journalist slop. Putting the blatant lies in the article, not refuting it with the facts that the fuel price increase is a direct consequence from the usa starting a war with Iran.
Which lies??
There was literally no blatant lies… Where is the lie in this:
Trump has blamed the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for the rise in global fuel prices, and last month lifted US sanctions on Russian diesel.
Trump did say that. This article isn’t about fuel prices, so why expand on it.
If you want an article about fuel prices, try one of these:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/22/trump-high-gas-prices-midterms-cycle
Energy prices across the board are higher because of the US war on Iran, which closed the strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s crude oil flows.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/oct/30/iran-war-energy-crisis-winter
The war didn’t create America’s energy affordability crisis. But it is making a bad situation much worse.
The jump in gas prices comes as fears grow that there could be further supply disruptions in the Middle East, amid reports the US and Israel have drawn up plans for renewed strikes against Iran after the US midterm elections.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/oct/23/oil-five-month-high-fears-us-renews-strikes-iran
The jump came after Tehran said it would attack oil facilities, undersea cables, datacentres and AI facilities in the Gulf region if a new US-Israeli offensive was launched against Iran.
Weeeell they are reporting on the he said she said but without stating truthfulness. Technically accurate, practically useless for whoever doesn’t have any context
How many people are reading this Guardian article with zero context? I would imagine a remarkably small percentage.
Don’t have enough data to confirm or deny
I’m sorry, there was some kind of agreement?
All i’ve seen is a senile old pedophile yelling stuff.
He basically said stop hitting russian refineries and in return we stop giving you interceptors regardless. It’s the retarded version of carrot and a stick but without the carrot
Good hunting, Slava Ukraini
Imperialist and expansionist Russia and U.S.
I wish we in Europe could get our shit together and support Ukraine properly so they don’t have to rely on the senile clown anymore.
It’s kinda being done but the problem is that Europe’s weapon production levels were lower than America’s at the start of this and I think they still are.
Similarly America had far deeper stockpiles to begin with (though as the whole Patriot situation shows, maybe not by all that much in the stuff that matters - they sure have lots of conventional bombs to give Israel to bomb Gaza but their Patriot missile stocks turned out not to be enough to face Iran)
Finally, with things sold by America it’s almost always a shavers and razor blades situation - they sell you the shavers cheap and after that you’re stuck having to buy their expensive razor blades. That’s the problem Ukraine is having with Patriot - they got the systems early on and now are stuck having to buy the missiles from America and they ain’t selling them anywhere near enough for their needs.
(That said, I don’t even know if Europe has a homegrown air-defense system capable of intercepting balistic missiles).
Nothing new here I don’t think. Ukraine has always said they are open to an energy ceasefire. If the orange fuckwit wants it to happen he’ll have to get Putin’s dick out of his mouth for long enough to beg him to agree to it.
Ukraine is doing math here. If they stop, trump may be seen as peace maker and wins votes. Trump is a putin ally basically at this point. If they go on they weaken their enemy AND may shift elections to a more moderate candidate in the US by elevated gas prices.
Of course this could go tits up if they lose international support. Destruction of northstream might have helped anti ukraine parties rise in germany. But regarding infrastructure inside russia i think they can only win.
Lol at the idea of Germany giving up on Ukraine, they will deserve the Russian invasion at that point if they do
Isn’t AfD the largest party in Germany now? They’re pro-Russia
Hmmm let me take two seconds to google this
Unfortunately Germans tend to get very dense when it gets to some political stuff. 🌝
Some simply don’t get what is so controversial about building Nordstream in the first place and how it undermines their independence (and I don’t just mean energy independence).
They have Gerhard Schröder as a clearest example of someone given a share in Russian gas sales, but Nordstream is just “two countries doing business, is buying energy from France also undermining our independence?”.
At this point?
At what point wasn’t he?
I hate to give him some small credit, but they have sent weapons and intelligence even during this term, even if it has been up and down.
Wow that is just… Uncanny…
He said weapons and intelligence
Your source is talking about humanitarian aid
The Trump administration stopped humanitarian aid, but is still supplying weapons and intelligence most of the time
Yes, they have sent intelligence and yes, they have sent weapons even if they haven’t paid for them themselves. The USA was doing much more before, but it could be much worse with them restricting access to their military industrial complex.
So lets be real about what they still do and allow, Ukraine would be in more trouble without access to e.g. new Patriot missiles. But without forgetting about the USA being unreliable, untrustworthy and treacherous to point of it not supporting its own allies.
Fuck Trump. Honestly, best advice is to do the opposite of what Trump says.
Heck, if Trump said the sky was blue, I’d have to double check it actually was.
Trump will go into history as the president who sat on his hands while he had the chance to permanently neuter a decades old ideological enemy.
Among other pants-on-head moronic moronic bullshit of course.
If only he was just sitting on his hands
We had the chance to gather ALL the intel on how a modern, land-based war is fought, get some risk-free practice in and crush Russia. Fuck me.
Russia is not an ideological threat to America in any way shape or form.
Russian disinformation campaigns are why Trump got elected in 2016
That is a deep ideological threat
— Facebook, 2016
What’s the ideological threat? What ideology does Russia have that threatens the ideology of America? America’s ideology is neo-liberal imperialist capitalism. How does Russian’s imperialist agenda threaten america’s neo-liberal imperialist capitalism? To me, America and Russia are a lot more ideologically aligned than America and Europe.
WTF are you trying to argue?
Russia’s geo-political strategy requires weakening rival nations. That’s how we got Trump and Brexit. To claim that is not a threat is absurd and intellectually devoid
“Empire weakens rival nations as a tactic, more at 11”
Trump was a wet dream for neoliberals until he started a war with Iran what are you talking about? Neolibs love Russia. Neolibs love Brexit. Neolibs in America, the ideology of America, are not at all threatened by Russia. They are threatened by losing money and capital. Cozying up to Russia against Europe is completely okay with neoliberals. A european war is good for american neolibs. A weak Europe is good for American neolibs, and neoliberalism is the ideology of America since Reagan. American ideology, Neoliberalism, is under no threat by Russia. The amount of fear Russia instills is extremely valuable to America’s ideology.
The USA has a civilized tradition side by side to the uncivilized one, which got the upper hand in the last 10 years. Russia only has the uncivilized one.
The neoliberal order in America has existed since Reagan. Nothing happened in the past 10 years that changed anything about American ideology except the Iran War. Every other war and foreign intervention has been for the Neoliberal order. Including everything about the Ukraine war.
“Civilization” is a nationalist term. Only nationalistic ideology talks in civilized and uncivilized. Don’t bring up nationalism to me.
Tankies are traitors within. Regressive spambots and election manipulation overwhelmingly come from Putin’s influence. Russia absolutely is an ideological threat.
And they hate LGBT people
They don’t know why, they were just told they do and fell in line
Not with the current clowns in charge obviously.
“decades old”
GOOD
Slava Ukraini!
Good. Any defiance aimed at that fascist is a net positive for the planet.
Fuck ‘em up, boys
