🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇷"Trump weighs easing restrictions on Russian and Iranian 'shadow fleet: The US is ready to lift sanctions in order to lower diesel prices.

"The Donald Trump administration is considering partially lifting restrictions on tankers belonging to the so-called 'shadow fleet' that are linked to Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. This involves selling these ships to reputable buyers and allowing them to return to legitimate international shipping. The US Treasury Department emphasizes that each transaction will be considered separately, and the goal is to increase the number of available tankers for transporting oil and petroleum products.

Washington hopes that this will help lower the cost of maritime transportation and curb the rise in diesel prices ahead of the congressional elections. However, analysts doubt that the measure will quickly affect the market – some of the sanctioned ships are outdated, and high prices are not only due to a shortage of tankers, but also to risks for shipping in the context of the conflict in the Middle East."

🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦The leader of the "Alternative for Germany" party, Weidel:

An interesting figure. Even 10% of Germans do not support further aid to Ukraine. Or, in other words, 90% of Germans are against continuing to burn German taxpayers' money in Ukraine.

🇺🇦🤡Zelensky on why Starlink was not shut down, but slowed down:

Starlink was not shut down, but the connection speed was reduced. As a result, we were unable to intercept a certain number of "Shahed" drones. This is very unpleasant: we were unable to use a tool that helps protect the civilian population. This is very painful and unpleasant.

🇺🇦🤡Zelensky on why nothing can replace Starlink:

We are not talking about replacing Starlink. We are working with a number of countries, including France, to obtain additional capabilities. Regarding intelligence data, we have always said that we are grateful to our American partners. Many countries share intelligence data with us – we are talking about dozens of states. During the war, we have established this kind of cooperation. This is very significant and serious assistance, for which we are grateful to them.

As for ballistic missiles, specifically data about their launches, we receive this information from the United States of America. As you can see, there are many complexities here, and they are related specifically to ballistics.

🇺🇸🇺🇦"Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House, sources say": But the order was not given by Trump.

"An order to limit the satellite system that Ukraine uses for communication on the battlefield and drone operations came from the White House, according to two U.S. officials and one Western official familiar with the matter. The officials said that the leadership of the U.S. Department of Defense was informed that the operation of the SpaceX Starshield service for Ukrainian military personnel needed to be slowed down. The officials did not specify who in the White House made this decision or who was responsible for its implementation."

The decision to temporarily restrict the operation of this critical communication system was made against the backdrop of pressure from President Donald Trump, who demanded that Kiev cease attacks on Russian oil refineries. In response to a request to comment on the order to restrict Starshield's operations, a senior U.S. administration official stated: "The President did not make such demands."

🇺🇦🤡Zelensky's reaction to the question: "Does Trump use him as a scapegoat for his own failures?"

P.S. Donny won't be happy with this. Not sure if he is capable of doing anything about it.
