New Jersey governor threatens to block delivery of Russian diesel cargoes
Mikie Sherrill told @FT’s @JamieSmythF and @alicemhancock that Trump’s deal with Putin would line the pockets of the Russian president at the “expense of American consumers and our democratic ally Ukraine”.

Nearly 2,000 civilians, including about 50 children, are trapped in Oleshky, Ukraine, with almost no food, no clean water, electricity, or heat. A localized ceasefire began October 27, with evacuations expected to start tomorrow, October 29.

🚨 Russian diesel could be arriving at U.S. ports as soon as next week.
Over the weekend, @SenWhitehouse and a bipartisan group of lawmakers wrote letters to major banks, port authorities, and fuel distributors, warning that facilitating Russian diesel imports could expose companies to civil and criminal liability — despite the Trump administration’s General License 135.
And yesterday, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, @RepRaskin, warned major oil industry groups that a presidential license cannot override federal law, and that those involved in these transactions could face serious penalties — including fines and prison time.
⚡️ Why does this matter? Revenue from Russian energy exports helps finance Putin’s war against Ukraine.
Congress must make clear that the Administration and oil companies cannot simply ignore the 2022 law banning Russian oil product imports.

🚨 Time is of the essence. Call your members of Congress today. Urge them to use every available legislative and oversight mechanism to reverse U.S. policies that undermine Ukraine’s and America’s security and reward Putin’s war.

I'm going to keep posting this until everyone reads it whether they want to or not.
The only viable path is
1. Arm Ukraine to Win
2. Bankrupt Russia with Sanctions
3. Negotiate Peace
Step 3 will never work unless 1 and 2 are achieved.

Zelenskyy: "... we have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for Patriots and NASAMS. I instructed our team to raise this with the American side once again."
I held a coordination call on the situation with weapons supplies from our partners and efforts to restore energy infrastructure following Russian strikes. Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi reported on the work underway in the regions. I thank every repair crew and all energy companies that are fully carrying out their assigned tasks. The work is continuing virtually nonstop, and we are using the equipment reserves we have built up. I expect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and other agencies involved to communicate in a timely and sufficient manner the need to replenish these reserves.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported on the supply of air defense interceptors to Ukraine, first and foremost Patriot missiles. We are working on several tracks – with the United States, Europe, and other partners that have stocks of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. In particular, we have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for Patriots and NASAMS. I instructed our team to raise this with the American side once again. Conversations with other countries are also ongoing.
We also discussed preparations for the November Ramstein meeting. It is important to speed up the implementation of decisions that have been on the table for some time. Every support package is an opportunity to protect people's lives. Thank you to everyone who is providing real support and, in particular, helping speed up these critically important deliveries.

Elon Musk has attempted to close the issue with Starlink in Ukraine. But here is a tale in 7 tweets that suggests it’s far from closed. The throttling back of speed limits on Starlink terminals occurred around 14 October so let’s go back to then in his timeline. 🧵1/10

NEW!! Meeks, Welch, joined by 4 Democratic colleagues, are demanding answers from Elon Musk in a letter over reports that Starshield access was restricted for Ukrainian forces, disrupting drone ops
They want to know who ordered the move and whether full access has been restored

The 160kph "speed limit" is still in place, multiple sources tell me. It frequently drops to significantly lower speeds, which has resulted in the loss of many UAF drones. Sources says they suspect the instability is deliberate; designed to further complicate drone operations.

- Russia has a massive logistics problem in Donbas, as Ukrainian drones are destroying its vehicles.
- The Kremlin informs the White House about this problem.
- Musk, Trump, and Hegseth throttle Starlink in Ukraine, hampering Ukrainian drone strikes.
- Trump and his pals are promised lucrative business deals with Russia.
- Thousands of Ukrainians die, while Russia threatens to seize even more territory.
I've never witnessed such a betrayal in my life.
russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down.
One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones.
russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate.
The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided.
The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia.
As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people. Because of the Russian attacks, we're losing people and time. It's such a pity, because our children don't have a real life and childhood. Not only children, but all people. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible. I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us. God bless, our strong soldiers stay strong on the battlefield. It helps me stay strong during any kind of negotiations.

The EU has bought Patriot missiles from the US through PURL, but Hegseth refuses to send them.
The Trump administration is solely responsible for the death of Ukrainian civilians and children.
Europe needs to stop buying any weapon systems and tech from the US.

Again it was the strike on a park full of families in a broad daylight!

President Trump is signaling that he may be prepared to sign a peace agreement with Russia and dare Ukraine to reject it.
Before you scoff, consider this hypothetical scenario:
1. Trump announces a 28-point peace framework that includes hundreds of billions in reconstruction funding, territorial swaps, a demilitarized zone, arrangements for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and American-backed security guarantees. Essentially a sweetened Witkoff–Dmitriev plan.
2. Putin goes on television, announces that the “Special Military Operation” is over, accepts the agreement, and declares an end to offensive operations.
3. Trump announces that America considers the war over and formally certifies a cessation of hostilities to Congress (setting the stage for lifting sanctions on Russia). He warns that if Ukraine rejects the agreement and continues military operations, Washington will consider Ukraine as the aggressor, not the victim, and reconsider its military, intelligence, and diplomatic support accordingly.
4. Markets surge; oil dumps. A handful of European leaders, China, and other governments welcome the breakthrough and congratulate Trump on ending the war. Trump spends the final days of the American election campaign declaring that he accomplished what everyone said was impossible.
Is this the very scenario President Zelensky was concerned about on television today?
Unfortunately, it appears my prediction below is coming true. A fake peace deal between Trump and Putin that Trump believes will save his election and that Putin will break the day after that election, and all these gifts to Putin are the Kremlin milking it in exchange for agreeing.
Agreement between Trump and Putin, forcing Zelensky to abide while knowing its just for Nov 3rd.
Putin gets concrete, permanent gifts to aid his war machine while Ukraine gets more war and more US attacks.
Meanwhile US Congress is MIA.
