🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇭 - UKRAINE / RUSSIE / ETATS-UNIS / SUISSE 🔹Un nouveau cycle de négociations en format trilatéral a commencé à Genève - Ukraine/États-Unis/Russie

❗️ 🤝 Ukraine and Saudi Arabia have signed an important defense cooperation agreement President Zelensky did not provide many details, but it’s clear the deal involves Kyiv’s help in countering Iranian drones — an area where Ukrainians have excelled like no one else. But the main outcome is something else: the agreement legitimizes Ukraine as a security provider in the Middle East 🌍 So the next time Trump says Ukraine hasn’t helped anyone — Kyiv can simply point to this deal signed by official Riyadh and say otherwise.

Arrived in Saudi Arabia. Important meetings are scheduled. We appreciate the support and support those who are ready to work with us to ensure security.

WOW! Russia has suspended about 40% of its oil export capacity following Ukrainian drone strikes, the halt of transit via the Druzhba pipeline, and the seizure of its “shadow fleet” tankers, Reuters reports. According to the agency, this is the most serious disruption in modern Russian history. After recent strikes, the terminal in Novorossiysk has limited oil loading. Russia’s three largest western export ports — Novorossiysk (Black Sea), Primorsk, and Ust-Luga (Baltic Sea) — have also been affected. In addition, European efforts to stop “shadow fleet” tankers have disrupted Arctic oil exports from Murmansk by about 300,000 barrels per day. Moscow is now forced to rely more on exports to Asian markets, but these routes are limited in capacity, traders say. United24

I mean, how the hell is this even legal? Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?

🤔🇺🇸🇺🇦🇪🇺 WSJ: Separately, the Pentagon notified Congress on Monday that it intended to divert about $750 million in funding provided by NATO countries through the PURL program to restock the U.S. military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine. The first official said it was unclear whether European countries providing their funds for the initiative to bolster Ukraine understood how the money was being spent.

In 2014, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) made sure not to inspect the Russian trucks filled with munitions but still issued public statements that the trucks were "inspected" by Russians. Red Cross also refused to distribute the weapons.
