The author wrote that Ukraine has attacked several Russian data centers and the number of Russian bots on X has sharply decreased as a result. Weakening Russian propaganda is an important war aim for Ukraine; attacks on data centers are just as important as attacks on refineries. #Ukraine #Russland #Propaganda #UA #RU (translated)

After the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia, the death toll has risen to 23, including four minors, while President Zelensky attributes the responsibility for the war in Europe solely to Russia and emphasizes that Ukraine is ready to stop attacks on Russian refineries if Russia halts its attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. #Saporischschja #RussischerAngriff #UkrainischerKrieg (translated)

The author described Zelensky's approach as a game of chance. He quoted Donald Trump as saying that he had told Zelensky he could attack whatever he wanted, but should spare refineries, as attacks on them would jeopardize the global supply of diesel. Nevertheless, Zelensky had attacked refineries, the author wrote. He also referred to Elon Musk and his provision of Starlink for Ukraine. https://t.co/emtQ47NqsQ #Selenskyj #Trump #Ukraine #UA #US (translated)

Time for Ukraine to get a new president. US President Donald Trump makes a controversial diesel deal with Russia, demands the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to resign, and demands that Ukraine cease its attacks on Russian refineries. #Selenskyj #Russland #Trump (translated)

The author wrote that Russia is already benefiting from the new rift between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, even though not a single liter of Russian diesel has been shipped to the USA. Every further Ukrainian attack on Russian refineries will strengthen Trump's aversion to Zelensky. #Russland #Ukraine #Politik #RU #US #UA (translated)

The author wrote that Russia is already benefiting from the new rift between Trump and Zelensky, even though not a single liter of Russian diesel has been shipped yet.

LilitThyra wrote that Zelensky provoked Trump with attacks on Russian refineries and his statements. Trump is now his opponent, which marks the beginning of a new chapter. She expressed hope that this could possibly bring movement toward peace. https://t.co/N7WFcs6cuR #Selensky #Trump #Frieden (translated)

Lexa wrote that Ukraine resumed its attacks on Russian oil infrastructure just hours after the announcement of a US-Russian diesel agreement. A senior Ukrainian official stated that Russian refineries were being attacked and set on fire. Lexa described the attacks as targeted asymmetric strikes against Russia's energy logistics, not as defense against an immediate threat. According to Lexa, the timing undermines the diplomatic line of Ukraine's main ally and gives Moscow reason to attribute to Kiev an interest in escalation rather than de-escalation. Lexa also wrote that the continuation of this strategy is contrary to the short-term interests of Ukraine's main donor and arms supplier. #Ukraine #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

Max Otte wrote that Donald Trump reported on Truth Social about a deal with Vladimir Putin, according to which Russia was to sell 4.8 million tons of diesel fuel to the USA and global markets. Otte described Trump's actions as strategically contradictory: on one hand, Trump is closing the deal, while on the other hand, American weapons and intelligence contribute to damaging or destroying refineries in Russia. Otte wrote that the deal could, in this case, contribute to a quicker end to the Ukraine war. #Trump #Putin #Ukrainekrieg (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that Donald Trump relaxed the sanctions against Russia to lower diesel prices in the USA. She claimed that Ukraine had repeatedly ignored US demands to stop attacks on Russian refineries, and that Trump and Vladimir Putin had therefore agreed on diesel deliveries to the USA. Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tons, followed by 500,000 tons in November and additional amounts. Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the deal as a "gift to Russia." At the same time, LilitThyra accused the EU of sticking to sanctions against Russia, thus imposing further rising prices on the population. #Trump #Russland #Dieselpreise (translated)

Mathias Priebe wrote that Donald Trump orders millions of tons of diesel directly from Vladimir Putin. In light of media reports about an extreme shortage of diesel and gasoline in Russia, he asked whether these reports had been propaganda. He also referred to Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries deep in Russia, which were supposedly successful, and wondered if Trump would watch this happen. Priebe stated that the deal shows that EU sanctions are now only harming the economy itself and advocated for abandoning what he believes to be failed and ineffective sanction packages. #Priebshow #Friedenstreiber https://t.co/O1xFVlkQzq #Trump #Putin #EU (translated)

BrennpunktUA wrote that the US midterm elections are in three weeks, and by then no Russian diesel will reach the USA. Trump knows this and doesn't really need the fuel but is looking for someone to blame for the high diesel prices, according to the author's assessment. Trump had already tried to blame Ukraine a few weeks ago. This attempt failed because the situation with Iran and in the SoH is 90 percent responsible for price development. Given the poor prospects for the Republicans, Trump is now once again trying to bring a deal with Putin into play. BrennpunktUA advised Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries in the coming three weeks and instead focus on other strategic targets. Otherwise, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could fall into Trump's trap. The author also asked where the diesel was suddenly supposed to come from and wrote that the fuel shortage in Russia is not over, and the country continues to import refined fuel for its own population. From his experience, nothing happens in the last four weeks before a major US election that is not related to the election. Trump will try to lower gas prices with PR actions in the coming three weeks and present this as his own success. If the Democrats get outraged over Trump's push for Russian diesel, they could also fall into the trap, BrennpunktUA wrote. Trump could then present himself as the one ensuring that Americans can afford their fuel fill-up. #Trump #USA #Wahlen (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump promised hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury then allowed an exemption from the sanctions. Given the midterms in four weeks and a diesel price at record levels, Laska interpreted the move as a possible campaign maneuver. In mid-September, Trump publicly called on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. According to a Reuters report led by Laska, at that time three of the six largest Russian diesel refineries were shut down or operating at limited capacity. She also pointed to a Russian export ban on diesel until the end of October and noted that Russia imported almost seven times as much diesel from Belarus from January to July as in the same period of the previous year. Deputy Prime Minister Novak is now talking about surpluses, she wrote; however, it is unclear whether the announced delivery quantities and deadlines will actually be met. Zelensky offered to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries if Russia ends its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Laska referred to this as a symmetrical de-escalation offer that is on the table for the Americans. She also cited rocket attacks on a residential building in Pryluky, glide bombs on city buses in Kramatorsk, and shelling of the energy supply in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Odesa. She warned that Russia would respond to the diesel with terrorism. The EU also criticized Laska: On September 22, Usmanov and Fridman were removed from the sanctions list under pressure from France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. According to Laska, Zelensky pointed out that the attacks had since increased. At the same time, the EU extended the remaining personal sanctions from six months to three years. Latvia had long resisted the compromise and ultimately paved the way for it by abstaining. Laska compared Trump's diesel concession to Russia with the European compromise in favor of unanimity. In her view, the costs of such agreements are borne not by their authors but by the people in Pryluky, Kramatorsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Oleshkiv. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)

Dennis Radtke wrote that Donald Trump actually wanted to end the war against Ukraine within 24 hours. Now Trump is filling the war chest of his friend Vladimir Putin, Radtke criticized, calling it a "great birthday present." He also asked how Putin should deliver anything in light of burning refineries. https://t.co/yevbBtF1gO #Trump #UkraineKrieg #Putin (translated)

Anna wrote that Donald Trump announced on Truth Social the delivery of 4.8 million tons of Russian diesel. The agreement was made during a phone call with Vladimir Putin, whose army is bombing Kyiv. The price of diesel is over $6, also due to Trump's Iran war, Anna wrote. This became a problem for him before the midterms. In September, Trump blamed Volodymyr Zelenskyy for attacking Russian refineries; now he is catering to Putin, according to her account. Russia imposed its diesel export ban because of exactly these attacks. Putin said eight days earlier that the diesel could not be sold abroad due to sanctions. Trump did not mention the sanctions in his announcement; whether the Kremlin confirms the stated amounts is unclear, Anna wrote. She contrasted this with the original justification for the Iran war: saving Iranians and making the world safer. Meanwhile, nobody talks about the Iranians anymore, while North Korea flatters Trump and Russia supplies him. Anna asked what a president fights for who flatters Kim Jong Un, bombs Iran, demands the largest island from Denmark, and orders diesel from Putin. In her assessment, the USA is currently dancing at all weddings at the same time. Anna cited AP and The Hill from October 9 and CNN from September 15 as sources. #Trump #Putin #Dieselpreise (translated)

Korina Graf wrote that Donald Trump had previously described Russia's diesel industry as severely damaged. Now, Vladimir Putin should suddenly deliver millions of tons of diesel. Graf ironically asked whether Trump had repaired the refineries over the phone. https://t.co/fPlBgQuv1X #Putin #Trump #Propaganda (translated)
