US is simply lost. The US does not support Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries “Our position since the beginning of this war has always been that we do not encourage or support attacks by Ukraine outside its territory,” — said department speaker Matthew Miller. Commenting on the question of whether the American side was in contact with Kiev after the Russian oil refinery in Samara was struck again the day before, a State Department representative refused to disclose information about any diplomatic interaction.
@jurgen_nauditt NATO should deploy in Ukraine. Putin should be warned that he must cease fire or else. Anything else is cowardice.
@jurgen_nauditt The 🇺🇸 should not encourage or send $ to state supporters of terror.
@jurgen_nauditt Nobody in their right mind supports Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries.
@jurgen_nauditt He left out the word "openly." Words mean nothing to liars of this extreme.
@jurgen_nauditt So stop begging for more money from them and fight your own battles.
@jurgen_nauditt Just retreating from the international sphere and letting authoritarians set the agenda. Not de-escalation - but rather a blatant moral cowardice visible to everyone for which there is no benefit (totally misconstrued tactics employed by people who lead us to a dangerous future).
@jurgen_nauditt What happened was, the attacks on Russian oil refineries led to counter attacks on Ukrainian gas installations. This hit our corrupt Congress critters directly in their pocketbooks. They don’t like when that happens.
@jurgen_nauditt What is your source for that quote?
I’d put this in the category of plausible deniability that US is attacking Russia. The US has always said Ukraine should not use US weapons outside of Ukraine’s intl-recognized borders. This is consistent with that. (wink-wink nod-nod)
