Ukraine will double down on attacking Russian oil refineries in response to a new policy of airstrikes by Moscow designed to force people to abandon Kyiv and other cities, but will not target civilians, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
Ukraine’s intelligence services has obtained documents showing that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had issued a “new doctrine” of military attacks on a much broader range of civilian targets ahead of this winter, Zelenskiy said.
“We saw documents and we know that they allow them to attack infrastructure, logistics, and especially to attack in the cities, in the villages, everywhere, roads, schools, hospitals,” Zelenskiy told Reuters in an interview. “To pressure people to leave the capital, leave different cities: this is the goal of the operation.”
Oil is ~$90/bbl and this guy is destroying refineries with my money.
Ohh no, why won’t anybody think about the poor imperialist
We have three children in the house and my partner just lost her job.
But of course the country being attacked is at fault. Not the country doing the attacking, nor the other country attacking a country that’s holding a certain strait hostage for leverage
We can’t afford life rn, so paying for a foreign war is a bill I don’t want or need. I’m not placing blame, nor do I really care about fault.
Definitely won’t be with deceitful people like you
Are you American? The US (edit has almost completely) stopped sending military aid anyway. This is Europe (who faces Russian aggression) and allies like Canada also seeing the rise of authoritarianism in its neighbours. These are dividends for our own defense. Oil prices won’t mean much if the great power autocrats have their way and expand trump-style neocolonial imperialism across the globe (like venezuala). Fighting dictatorships now saves you much worse later.
The US literally just sent another $400 million.
Right true. 300m passed by congress LAST YEAR that trump has no choice to approve. True. But that is a drop in the bucket, and the only military support given since trumps second term. This year Canada gave nearly a billion in military aid compared to the US 300m, and Europe gave almost 75 billion. It is Europe finding ukraine, not the US.
Edit in all your posts you refuse to blame trump for ballooning your national debt and starting an illegal war that severely impacted actual oil flows. Instead you gripe about proportional pennies to Ukraine. If your economic woes are hurting you, get angry at your government ffs
“drop in the bucket” or however you wanna phrase it – It’s money that’s not being used to feed our hungry, house our poor, or educate our youth.
Trump’s a clown, I’m going to do my part as I do every November. I have gripes with the government for many things… meddling in the domestic and foreign politics of other countries is one of them.
Maybe you should think about that when supporting tankie bullshit.
Idk what “tankie” is, sounds like a perjorative. Not sure how funding a foreign war helps me pay for the household or what point you’re trying to make in general. Sounds kinda like a “fuck you” in disguise.
No disguise. Have a nice day.
Such ire, there cannot be peace anywhere with this attitude. May the world spare you its fury.
I’m not the person you responded to. A “tankie” according to Wikipedia is an authoritarian communist or someone who supports them. I don’t think the person who called you a tankie was accurate or even understood what the word means. It’s a red flag when people use that term In any case, it seems absurd to whine about gas prices in the context of the horror Ukraine is experiencing.
So you’re saying that because there is war on the other side of the world, my personal hardships don’t matter?
Unless you’re in Russia, this is not going to have a significant negative effect on you. Trump’s war in Iran is the primary driver of worldwide oil prices right now.
If you are in Russia, it’s not your tax dollars.
Your money?
You gotta work to pay taxes, and most of you tankie shits, sit in your mom’s basement hoping the day comes that you become the leader of your authoritarian regime… it’s why you defend ruzzia and the ccp like good little lapdogs.
We have three children in the house and my partner just lost her job.
I do hope that you find relief soon, direct your anger at your government who has enabled exploitation. Not at the government trying to defend against fascist nationalist expansion
Maybe I am being misundestood, I’m not defending VP’s war on UA. What I am saying is that I cannot afford to pay for it because the rent is due and the children are hungry.
You are! Because you attacked the right of Ukraine to raise the funds needed to strike the aggressor: russia. Besides the US gives very little aid anyway. If you are not European then you have zero right to criticize where their aid goes.
IMO UA can do whatever it wants and raise funds however it pleases, doesn’t matter me. Since the aid is “very little aid anyway,” I rather feed our hungry, house our poor, and educate our youth.

Or. Hear me out. Properly support Ukraine so that they can finally push putler back, so that the food Ukraine produces can finally be available for everyone. Also your government should be able to do both, by closing exploitative loopholes.
Huh? …(processing)… 😆 Oh I see what you did there
The fuck does that have to do with Ukraine being invaded by ruzzia? Ruzzia never supplied the US with Diesel, and trump is the cause for the prices rising. Not Ukraine blowing up refineries in ruzzia, they’ve been doing that long before the orange pedophile decided to attack Iran.
Maybe you should try listening to scientists and move away from oil and natural gas. Use your boot straps and produce your own energy instead of importing it in. The cost today appears to reflect the actual damage those barrels are doing and the quality of life you had was all an illusion based on the exploitation of resources you didn’t actually control.
