Thread. Sample of reaction to “I want to thank President Putin” diesel deal from Russian commentators, via @chriso-wiki.bsky.social. As one if them says, Russia seems to get a lot more out of this than does the United States.
💯The real story here is not about diesel, it is about the US increasingly emerging as a supporter of Russia in this war. Since Trump became president for the second time, the USA has moved steadily to support Putin in his war to wipe out Ukraine 👇
Well, well, not well. Putin's economy is failing. T is Putin's buddy and ally. Putin gets an estimated 4.5 billion from this sale. Ukraine, our ally, is told to stop trying to defend itself from the Russian invasion. The battle between good vs evil, right and wrong is clear- Stand and Deliver
It has turned out that the Ukrainian attack on Russian refineries are now US national security threat. not sure what this thing turning into.
Being the main guarantor of NATO deterrence against Russia while actively supporting Russia
apnews.com/article/trum... first he causes the fuel crisis via his illegal iran war & then he makes a deal with a country currently involved in another illegal war against Ukraine. He's dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. He would do anything rather than face the people's justice in Nov.
Breaking: Trump reached a diesel fuel deal with Putin after Zelenskyy ignored at least six U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, a U.S. official told Axios. Trump wanted Ukraine to halt the strikes because they were driving up U.S. fuel prices.

Ukraine has been bombing Russian refineries for 3 years, they stopped because Biden asked them to, which was a mistake they are not going to repeat.

Cheaper diesel, at what cost? Trump's Russia deal pits fuel relief against sanctions policy. Today's Morning Brief also covers AI earnings expectations, agent failures, a return to bonds and household debt stress. specterworks.substack.com/p/the-mornin...
Strikes against Russian oil do seem to be effective, if both the Kreml *and* its American supporters are so desperate to get them to stop.
I told my father not 3 hours ago that Ukraine wouod probably attempt to interdict the Diesel exports Trump just un-sanctioned and they did it way faster than I expected.
As far as I can see this is virtually the only leverage the US still has vis à vis Ukraine and Europe. It might not enjoy the consequences of carrying out the threat. www.ft.com/content/7fd4...
Trump should not be able to import oil from Russia because of sanctions only Congress can override. The legal question is whether a temporary Treasury license can allow these imports without following that statutory process. Law suits should be filed soon.
Just a gentle re minder that tRUMP SANCTIONED Russian oil & gas because Russia INVADED Ukraine and committed atrocities from the first day. NOW, tRUMP wants to buy RUSSIAN oil so he can say he is lowering price of diesel fuel in the USA. (which is also not true.) Please VOTE Democratic every office.
🇺🇸 Keith Kellogg: Putin isn’t giving diesel to Americans out of the goodness of his heart. It’s an attempt to reduce pressure on him. Kyiv should continue striking legitimate military targets within Russia. “It’s a war, they are attacking correctly.”
Trump seeing himself as Putin is most obvious in the way he talks about the Ukraine war. Zelenskyy is the only one who can end it, just like Iran is the only one who can end it. Obviously, both wars only exist because Putin and Trump started them and cannot take the L.
This is a bad development, of course, but I don't know why anyone would be surprised about it. The current US regime has been stabbing Ukraine in the back since January 2025. This just makes it official. If NATO wasn't ready for this, it's run by idiots.
At this point, Ukraine should really question how obligated they should be to committing to US demands for Ukraine to restrain themselves in targeting Russian infrastructure.
just an reminder to all #Americans regardless of which party you will support in the midterms, this shows the #US fuel prices, when #Ukraine started to hit refineries in #russia the price didn't go up, it even manage to fall a bit, then #Israel and #USA […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
US warns Kyiv that strikes on Russia jeopardise intelligence-sharing www.ft.com/content/7fd4...
Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.
"A few hours after Donald Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel, Ukraine set a major Russian fuel export terminal on fire." Ka-boom! Donald did that. www.rawstory.com/trump-putin-...
'US threatens to cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine over strikes on Russian oil refineries. "Zelensky is misreading the room. By continuing to hit refineries, he is eroding the good will that he has built with Trump," a US official said.' newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/us-thre...
Does anyone else feel like your personal beliefs are always opposite of what our government does?
I guarantee Trump will propose changing the name of the United States of America to the United States of Trump - or Trumpland And Republicans will put forth a bill and MAGA will start calling us that When really what we are are the Divided States of Putin
Putin snookered Trump into giving him something incredibly valuable, sanctions relief, in exchange for nothing, excess diesel that Russia doesn't even have. rawstory.com/trump-putin-2678069413/
newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/us-thre... Trump and Musk are already supplying Russia with intelligence with regard to Ukraine. I would not be surprised if Musk cuts off satellite help to Ukraine again.
i thought this was normal but the Oil & Gas people have assured me this is not how a terminal is meant to look
🇺🇦 ballistics are about to start a feeding frenzy on refineries I am really mad about this - imagine how furious the Ukrainians are. Now they have new focus
Trump strikes deal with Putin to get diesel in sharp reversal of US policy weeks before midterms apnews.com/article/trum...  Senator Blumenthal: “This agreement with a murdering dictator is a stain on our nation’s character … directly contrary to Congress’ intent in our bipartisan sanctions bill”
This isn't unexpected. The last time he did it, Ukraine continued hitting refineries and oil terminals. All I'll say now is that Ukraine's leaders should do what’s best for Ukraine, not Donald Trump.
Trump announces deal with Putin on Russian diesel to US markets - Zelensky condemns as gift to Russia that undermines peace efforts. 30 sources cross-confirmed on factline.io #OSINT #US #Russia
Donald Trump's deal with Russia to secure diesel shows that the moment of desperation in the international economy is approaching very fast. We're edging toward meltdown, and our politicians are still ignoring that fact. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/10...
Trump decided to make a diesel fuel deal with Russia after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ignored half a dozen U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Axios. www.axios.com/2026/10/10/t...
Trump is unhappy about Ukraine's attacks on Russia because Putin is Trump's boss and tells him what to say. Republicans in Congress seem fine with that.
Trump seems to be trying to beg Russia to help with midterms. Cuz they have interfered with our elections before, that’s how Trump got in. But Putin is in a weaker spot than he was before (Ukraine is kickin his ass) and Trump proves to be too dumb to control well. So he ain’t gonna do shit.
While not confirmed anywhere, this is my greatest concern. Thats a real thing Trump can do that would have a considerable effect. With caveat, much of this wouldn't be fast and US elections are weeks away.
Ukraine, increase your production of drones and your new ballistic missile and set the targets where it hurts the most for Putin and Donald Trump. Let the oil burn!
Witkoff and Kushner threatened to cut off Ukraine’s intelligence access if it continued striking Russian oil refineries, Axios reports, citing Ukrainian officials. The US side denies that any such threat was made.
Although not invited to the negotiations, Zelenskyy was determined not to be left out entirely.
So #Trump is going to import #diesel fuel from #Russia, a country that is facing its own acute shortages of the fuel.
Do you think the Ukrainians know they want the price at the pump to go up in October? I think they do
Guess Donald forgot about the Flamingo sanctions that are very much still in effect
🇺🇸 Trump thanked putin for 300,000 tons of russian diesel. “This is exactly what we need,” he said. Asked about Zelenskyy’s criticism that the deal could prolong the war, Trump replied: “The world needs oil.” Meanwhile, Ukraine needs this war to end.
Hegemonic suicide, taking the side of the revisionist invader edition
But Russia won't stop sharing intelligence with Iran. You can count on that.
