Ukraine’s deputy PM
@StefanishynaO
responds: “We understand the call of our American partners. At the same time, we are fighting with the capabilities, resources and practices that we have today.”
Basically, “what do you want us to do, nothing??”
Scoop: The US has urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure, warning senior SBU and GUR officials that drone strikes risk driving up global oil prices and provoking retaliation.

If the Biden admin wanted Ukraine to defend itself more conventionally, it should have sent Kyiv a greater number of weapons much earlier than it did at every step of this war. But as usual, the admin is too reactive and scared of any response by Moscow.

To hell with the politics. There is no doubt these are viable targets for Ukraine to go after - and the more the better. Oil is financing Putin’s war, too, so blow them all up as far as I’m concerned.

Excellent response! To have influence, the West must provide resources. If Ukraine is on its own, they can make their own decisions.

Witnessing another Eur "nazi style" war, as the one 🇷🇺 is conducting, is heartbreaking. Equally heartbreaking is the compl failure, cynicism, weakness & unwillingness of our W politicians to recognize that it also must be our responsibility to bring 🇷🇺 to a defeat! No red lines!
