President Zelenskyy stated that the US refused to share intel regarding ballistic missile strikes for three days.

Like I said, it has zero to do with oil prices.

Representative Gregory W. Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement after the Trump administration announced it would waive sanctions on Russia:

"Donald Trump has spent years chasing the Nobel Peace Prize. After weeks of pro-Putin policy and this shameful waiver, he deserves a different honor: the Neville Chamberlain Appeasement Award."

The Ukrainian operation against Saint Petersburg, Russia, has been the largest in this war against this Russian city. Three major targets were hit:

- The local oil terminal respectively the oil storage units
- The VKontakte Datacenter
- The Ozon logistics hub

It needs to be paraphrased that neither Starlink nor Starshield can be used for this operation by the Ukrainian military, since those services have always been been off limits for Ukrainian forces. Only Ukrainian end products are used.

Pictures released by TG channel "Dnipro Osint" show a gaping hole in the datacenter of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) near Saint Petersburg in Russia.

Ukrainian forces struck a major “Ozon” warehouse in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The logistics hub is completely on fire.

Also, energy infrastructure supplying a Russian datacenter including VKontakte (Russian Facebook) in Saint Petersburg, Russia, was also targeted. In this footage a transformer was hit.

The moment of another impact against port infrastructure in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Ukrainian drones have struck the port area of Saint Petersburg, Russia.

There is a major attack ongoing against targets in the Saint Petersburg area in Russia. Among several targets this oil storage has been struck.

The oil prices are currently escalating. This evening they jumped by almost 4% in a matter of minutes and it is no surprise. The Iranian regime is currently fully enjoying their freedom to strike ships in the Strait of Hormuz while feeling safe that Ukraine is getting blamed for it.

Gaslighting, deflecting and lying is not going to push down our energy prices. The Iran war is a mess and it will get worse. Far worse.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski:

“The USA haven’t spent a single cent on Ukraine since January 2025, so more than 1.5 years. We in Europe are doing it.”

President Zelenskyy offered Trump an alternative in destroying Russian refineries. Instead, he offered that Starlink is extended to Russia and ballistic launchers will be attack. This has not only be ignored, but shortly later Starlink respectively Starshield in Ukraine has been curtailed.

It is so obvious that it has nothing to do with refineries. Trump is protecting Putin, no matter what.

The Telegraph obtained information that it was Elon Musk’s idea to reduce the maximum speed of Starlink-controlled (interceptor-) drones in Ukraine, then got cold feet that this might backfire on Starlink in the European market and then finally blamed Trump for this episode.

On the question whether frozen Russian assets in Europe should be transferred to the US, German Chancellor Merz has made very clear:

“Those are frozen assets in Europe and they will remain frozen. That is our business and only we will decide.”

Satellite pictures obtained by X /avivector show absolute devastation at the Borisoglebsk Air Base, Voronezh region, in Russia. They show that at least three likely four Su-34 air frames have been completely destroyed. Scorch marks indicate that more planes might have been damaged.

After repeated violations of the (imaginary) energy truce by Russia, Ukrainian forces have received orders to resume targeting and destroying Russian energy infrastructure objects.

It is open season for Russian refineries again. Good hunting!

Elon Musk is basically pointing at Trump. He is obviously trying to protect Starlink from the economic fallout this incident created. With several European nations starting to question services by Starlink and India actively pushing back on this issue, this has become a serious problem for Musk and SpaceX.

Starshield on the other hand, which was previously not limited, is seemingly yet throttled. Unlike Starlink this system is under control by the US DoD and ultimately the White House. This has been reiterated by Elon Musk. It confirms my assessment from the morning that the White House is responsible.

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov reports that Starlink has been restored to the previous setting so that it can be used for speed up to 160 kph (100 mph). In the last 24h the speed was throttled to 70 kph - 100 kph. Apparently, this “interference” has been corrected.
