🎇 In 2025, the war came home to Russia — not just to border regions, but straight into #Moscow and St. Petersburg. Right now, 600,000 people in Moscow are without power, and they can’t even Google why — because the Kremlin is cutting mobile internet. 📵💥 They’ve done it 12,000 times to hide failures at the front, in the economy, and in society. Russians are now protesting economic collapse, banking chaos, soaring prices, and fuel shortages. In 2026, they’ll taste their own medicine — and justice will come for the Kremlin dictator. Share the truth. Witness it together. Happy New Year. 🎉 #RussiaIsCollapsing #StandWithUkraine #MakeRussiaSmallAgain

❗️Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal proposes to quickly increase aid to Ukraine so that it can completely destroy Russian oil refineries, and called Trump’s diesel deal with Putin a major miscalculation that contradicts the West’s policy of cutting off Russia’s energy revenues. According to him, deals with dictators are the path to hell, and Russia uses money from fuel sales for killings. Germany is maintaining sanctions, and Kaja Kallas has announced the largest sanctions package against Russia’s military industry.

🚨⚡️BREAKING: Turns out that bottling up a quarter of the world’s oil in the Strait of Hormuz affects diesel prices more than striking diesel that was already sanctioned and banned from being exported.

BREAKING - Is PUTIN selling IRANIAN DIESEL to TRUMP in a huge SCAM!?!?!? Putin's regime is letting the press know that during Trump's 90 minute "Happy Birthday" phone call with Putin on Friday, Trump gushed over him, praising him over and over. And so, they say, Putin played right into it, and pulled a massive con-job on Trump, apparently with the intention humiliating Trump in front of the entire world. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Russia does NOT have enough diesel to supply its OWN needs. Especially since Ukraine has been destroying its refining plants. Russia is now getting its fuel needs met by IRAN. The border of Iran is only a hundred miles from the border of Russia by truck, and only 500 miles by sea - they are connected by the Caspian Sea. And oil and petroleum products have been flowing to Russia steadily from Iran, all the time both the Ukraine War and the Iran War have been going on. It's the reason Russia has been able to keep going, despite Ukraine's bombardments. It's the reason that Iran has kept going despite Trump's blockade of the Strait. And THAT is the reason the United States has declared SANCTIONS on BOTH countries' export of oil, during all this time. Including NEW US sanctions and tariffs on nations that import Russian oil and gas, passed almost UNANIMOUSLY by Congress just weeks ago. Yes. The "Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026". TRUMP himself SIGNED IT INTO LAW on September 18, 2026. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . But Trump walked RIGHT into Putin's scam anyway. Either he already FORGOT about this, or he figured everyone in the United States is as dumb as his MAGA rally groupies. He thought he could put a fast one over on all of us. And instead, he owned HIMSELF. Bad enough if that diesel fuel is actually from Russia But if it is from IRAN, then it will be used to finance IRAN in Trump's own war. OUR OWN TAXPAYER money will be used against US. Against the United States of America. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Commentary by Glee Violette.

Donald Trump made a deal with Putin for 36 million barrels of Russian diesel, but that amount won’t move US fuel prices lower. It’ll only fund Putin’s bloody war machine in Ukraine. Putin continues to play Trump like a fiddle.

🚨 President Trump is getting INCREASINGLY annoyed with Zelensky for REFUSING to negotiate in good faith for a ceasefire deal And it's because 47 hates the impact it's having on our farmers and ranchers. Every diesel refinery Ukraine strikes causes HUGE problems for American farmers. GET A DEAL DONE NOW, ZELENSKY!

Russians are confused about the diesel deal. They say, "There’s a huge fuel shortage in Russia, with long lines at gas stations and rising prices. Yet we’re going to sell diesel to the US? This will only lead to even greater shortages and higher prices." And here’s another popular comment: "All this time, we haven’t been fighting Ukraine - we’ve been fighting the US on Ukrainian territory. And now, to finally defeat them, we need to send diesel fuel to our enemy?"
Russians have recently been complaining en masse about poor-quality diesel fuel and equipment breakdowns. Diesel fuel is being diluted and quality standards are not being met. Diesel fuel standards in Russia and the United States are not identical. Russian diesel is not certified to meet U.S. standards and is unlikely to undergo certification. If Russian diesel ever makes its way to the United States, good luck to anyone who puts it in their vehicles.

Donald Trump will spend all day on Sunday,... diligently working with top advisors to lower gasoline, diesel and grocery prices for American consumers,... and working to open the Strait of Hormuz. Nah. Just kidding. He's golfing. He doesn't give a fuck about American consumers.

US road diesel prices are clearly up because of Iran, not Ukraine, per US EIA data The price jumps sharply between the week ending Mar 2, '26 ($3.9/gal) & Mar 9, '26 ($4.9/gal), rising to $6.2/gal today Hormuz was blocked on Feb 28, 2026 (Sat) so Mar 9 was the first full week

Rubio: ​"The diesel that Putin was going to sell, they were going to make it available to the global market one way or the other. The only difference is how much of it the US was going to get." By this logic, why do we need sanctions at all? They're going to sell sanctioned goods anyway, right? Wrong. Selling to China at a huge discount versus selling to the US or EU at full price is the whole difference sanctions make. And those waivers do give Russia a massive amount of money to keep murdering Ukrainians. Plus, Rubio openly says, "The difference is how much the US is going to get," which basically means how many missiles and drones they are going to fund without much impact on the diesel prices. Is that what Americans want?

Some have blamed the surge in global diesel prices on Ukrainian strikes against Russian refineries. But market data shows that a major driver of the price increase lies thousands of kilometers away—in the Persian Gulf, where the war with Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and sharply reduced fuel exports.

European diesel prices are absolutely exploding... Diesel is trading at almost $193/barrel, while Brent crude sits at just $106. That's a staggering $87 premium. You can suppress crude prices with paper oil and manipulate sentiment with an endless flood of fake news... But you can't print diesel. And eventually, the disconnect between paper prices and physical reality will have to close. Brace for inflation.

🚨BREAKING: This new chart from @TheStudyofWar overlays Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries with the price of diesel fuel. There is NO CORRELATION between strikes on Russian refineries and spikes in the price of diesel here in the U.S. They are not driving up prices here.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. Importing a small amount of diesel from Russia will do nothing to bring down prices for American farmers and truckers.

Thiessen: This is not the cause of the spike of diesel prices. The spike is directly related to the war in Iran.

Kellogg: The real problem with diesel prices is not Zelenskyy in Ukraine. It’s not Russia and Ukraine. It’s what’s happening in the Gulf. The key pressure is disrupted transit through the Strait of Hormuz. 1/

Project 03182 replenishment vessel "Valentin Rykov" 4750653 is heading out for a likely first ever mission. Commissioned this summer a guess is that she is heading for English Channel to replenish the Russian warship guarding it, I believe frigate RFS Neustrashimy at moment.
