The American population should be distraught at this behaviour, given the past tensions. Putin must have something really damning on Trump for him to be so cap in hand to him all the time. When will they wake up, Trump is not acting on the nation's behalf and obviously has a personal agenda and will carry it out regardless of the results. It really has been a long 6 months !

6,600 km from Ukraine you say?
It would be a hoot if Ukraine managed to still reach them ! Zelensky should have a competition with decent prizes for the first drone operator to manage it.
One of those Alaskan crab boats on the programme 'Deadliest catch' would be my method of choice. 'Sorry, we got lost in a storm'.

Another oil refinery is on fire - this time in Kstovo, on the Volga east of Moscow.
Ukraine is keeping up the pressure.

It's good. If there's a day without one, I really feel like something's missing.

Ukraine launched a cross-border incursion into Kursk Oblast in August 2024. Reinforced by North Korean troops, Russia launched a push to recapture the region in early March, with Ukraine being forced to pull back from much of the initially taken territory.

Doesn’t anyone think it’s really concerning that these oil refineries being targeted in Ukraine and Russia is extremely destructive on the environment?

I find it hard to feel celebratory about any oil refineries being targeted in any war-zone by any side regardless of the military advantage gained.
As soon as there is a ceasefire the better.

I hear what you are saying, but what's that? I can also hear Putin saying 'environment is our priority'.
Ahh yes, did you see that bullshit interview from Putin?

Sure, it's bad for the environment, but they only drill it out of the ground because countries want to buy it... including the UK and EU sadly, buying refined crude from India who bought it from Russia.Doesn’t anyone think it’s really concerning that these oil refineries being targeted in Ukraine and Russia is extremely destructive on the environment?

There aren't many ways that Ukraine can defend itself against the Russian attacks (genocide) on it's civilians. Hitting Russia's oil storage is one of them.

I didn't watch it, but saw the headline and gave it a swerve. The cynicism dial has been turned up to the max.Ahh yes, did you see that bullshit interview from Putin?
As an aside, I wouldn't want this thread to be derailed by going off on some environmental tangent.

Another reason to keep pressure on Russia to stop the war it started. Whilst the environmental damage is dreadful, if I was Ukrainian and fighting for the very existence of my country I’m not sure I’d care too much about any damage done in Russia.Doesn’t anyone think it’s really concerning that these oil refineries being targeted in Ukraine and Russia is extremely destructive on the environment?

And the next one.....
Note that whenever these reports mention 'Russian Telegram channels report...' it means that Russians have videoed an attack despite the law telling them not to, and TV propagandists calling for them to be executed.
