Zelenskyy won’t fold so he needs someone willing to. Feels like the negotiated Russian diesel agreement was to make it seem like their infrastructure is critical to global diesel supply to strong arm a deal. Ukraine claims its strikes have taken out more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ukraine-claims-its-strike... - October 5th, 2026

Remember when this was all supposed to end on day one of his presidency? Oh that sweet summer child.

Trump should have called for Zelenskyy to be replaced ages ago.

Higher chances of impeachment and conviction after the midterms means Russia is looking to close out its position for maximum profit.

Well, Ukraine sure wasn't getting any patriots even before this, mostly Europe supporting Ukraine now, privately, the US has become irrelevant to Zelensky now, although publically he still encourages and hopes for support. Trump is just sucking up to Putin to try to get Putin to break off supporting Iran. News just about the time the war with Iran began was that Russia had a new, upgraded shoulder fired anti-air missle, and Iran promised $1 billion for a major cache of them.
