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.
Lol at the idea of Germany giving up on Ukraine, they will deserve the Russian invasion at that point if they do
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?”.
