Paul Ronzheimer reported that there was once again air defense in the center of Kyiv. Zelensky's advisors were shocked and speechless in light of the news from Washington: Trump is demanding a new president for Ukraine after the diesel deal with Putin. A close advisor of Zelensky told him that they had expected to come into focus again during the Midterm election campaign, but did not anticipate this development.

BrennpunktUA reported, citing Axios, that the USA had threatened Ukraine with a restriction on access to intelligence information if attacks on Russian oil refineries continued. The threat was made during talks between Wittkoff and Kushner with a Ukrainian delegation in Miami. After the "Trump-Putin Diesel Deal" became known, the Ukrainian side had aborted the talks. According to a source cited by BrennpunktUA, the USA had urged the Ukrainian leadership at least six times to stop attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure. The Trump administration believed that these attacks had triggered an energy crisis in Russia and forced the country to halt its diesel exports, which caused prices to rise in the USA. #Ukraine #USA #Russland (translated)
