What to know

  • Trump used a Treasury license to lift sanctions and import Russian diesel ahead of the midterms, aiming to lower US fuel prices.
  • Bipartisan lawmakers say the import may violate the 2022 Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act and amounts to funding Russia's war.
  • Trump then declared an 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine that both Zelenskyy and a Russian lawmaker say they never agreed to.
  • Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid continued after the announcement; Zelenskyy vows retaliation and has signaled Ukraine could target tankers carrying Russian diesel to the US.

The dispute Whether the 'energy ceasefire' ever existed at all versus whether blame for its collapse lies with Russia's continued strikes or Ukraine's refinery attacks. · positions read across 931 posts and comments

Buying Russian diesel is a betrayal of Ukraine that funds Putin's war and should be opposed.

  • “Ukraine, don't stop. Putin won't. Trump is a Russian asset. Ignore him. Keep your boot on Russia's throat.”

The 'energy ceasefire' is fake — nobody agreed to it, and Trump is manipulating oil markets with a fictional decree.

  • “Did anybody tell the parties that they agreed??”

Ukraine should keep striking Russian refineries and infrastructure regardless of any ceasefire.

  • “Nope. Ukraine needs to keep bombing their refineries and data centers. Russia could easily end this and retreat.”

Governing via social-media decrees is itself the problem, regardless of the policy's merits.

  • “I need a new law that states politicians can't govern through social media. If you want to address the public in a professional capacity, get your ass in front of reporters”
