RT @jamiedupree: Sen. Jerry Moran R-KS opposes Trump diesel deal with Putin

Sanctions on Russian fuel exports have, for the last several years, deprived funding for Putin’s unjust war in Ukraine and provided leverage to help end it. We should be tightening sanctions further, not undercutting them by allowing the import of Russian diesel and risking erasing our leverage, damaging our credibility with allies, and emboldening our adversaries. - Senator Jerry Moran

RT @TheStudyofWar: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 12, 2026: Russia and Ukraine have not agreed to a ceasefire against energy infrastructure as of October 12, as Russian forces continued to strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight on October 11 to 12.

Other Key Takeaways:

Senior Russian officials confirmed that there is no ceasefire agreement as of October 12 and outright rejected any ceasefire proposal that would allow Ukraine to hold elections.

A Russian State Duma deputy and a Russian ultranationalist mouthpiece supported the Kremlin’s rejection of an energy ceasefire proposal and openly stated that Ukrainian strikes against Russian refineries are not the primary driver of global diesel shortages.

Ukrainian forces delayed a Russian strike package by striking Russian ballistic missile launchers located in Russia.

Ukrainian forces did not strike Russian oil refineries on October 11 to 12 due to President Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement on October 11. Russian forces launched 121 drones against Ukraine overnight.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Oleksandrivka direction.

People won't be getting anything in return for selling their soul.

Trump’s deal to import Russian diesel is unlikely to ease U.S. fuel prices much, while lawmakers from both parties question its legality. https://on.wsj.com/4jQqi7l - The Wall Street Journal

Maybe American politicians shouldn't take actions that hurt American consumers... like starting a war.

“A US official said that US negotiators told the Ukrainians the United States was a strong partner, providing munitions and intelligence, and so Ukraine shouldn’t take actions that hurt American consumers.” - Jim Sciutto

RT @Mpolymer: Correct take. Plus there’s a duty to warn re US citizens in Ukraine, so much argues this did not occur. Withholding force pro intel may even be a bridge too far for this crazy admin.

Correct. Lot of BS being spread on here that the US has cut intelligence. There is no evidence for that, and threat intel would be the last to go because it would endanger US diplomats in Ukraine. I realize there is widespread (and justifiable) anger, but cool-headedness and evidence-based analysis are more important than ever. - Michael Weiss

U.S. President Donald J. Trump told reporters earlier that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to his previously proclaimed energy ceasefire “because I said, you agree,” despite both nations announcing that they are open to such a proposition but still stopping short of committing to it.

Since the announcement, both sides have struck key targets, including Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Russian data centers, making the likelihood of such a deal coming to fruition low.

Ukrainian forces have struck three major Russian Yandex datacenters with long-range drones over the past week, causing significant damage to facilities in Kaluga, Vladimir, and Ryazan. Several Yandex services have since gone offline or experienced prolonged service disruptions.

The attacks are likely a Ukrainian response to a wave of Russian strikes targeting Ukrainian datacenters in cities including Kyiv and Odesa over the past two weeks.
