The high-profile strike comes as Putin was warned his economy is on the brink due to the war, Russian citizens tried to flee Crimea and Ukraine continues to seize increasing amounts of territory on the battlefield.

The oil terminal, located on the Gulf of Finland at the city’s Great Port of St. Petersburg, is one of Russia’s largest fuel storage and export facilities, with a throughput of 12.5 million tons per year.

KYIV: Ukraine has deployed military units to five Middle Eastern countries to help protect critical and civilian infrastructure against drones, Ukrainian security council secretary Rustem Umerov said on Friday (Mar 20) after visiting the region.

He said the teams had been sent to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, which have come under fire during the Iran war. Further steps for “long-term security cooperation” have been outlined with each of the five nations, he said, without giving details.

“Ukrainian military specialists are operating in each of these countries under the coordination of the National Security and Defense Council,” Umerov wrote on X.

The arms race in Ukraine has created many weapons firms that are producing more arms than Kyiv can buy, leading Zelensky to announce Sunday that 10 “export centers” will open across Europe this year to raise much-needed funds for his country.

The Ukrainian president noted that Ukraine’s advanced drones, which have proven successful against Russia’s military, will also be up for sale as European nations begin to increase their defense spending.

Visiting the scene on Monday, Donald Tusk said the damage done to the railway tracks on Sunday was deliberate and likely aimed at blowing up the train. He expressed relief there were no casualties.

After an emergency meeting of security officials on Monday, Poland’s special services minister did not initially name Russia directly, but said there was a “very high chance” that the blast was carried out on the orders of “foreign services”.

Ukraine’s parliament overwhelmingly approved a bill on Thursday presented by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that restores the independence of two of the country’s key anti-corruption watchdogs, reversing a contentious move last week that curbed their power and sparked protests.

Lawmakers in the Verkhovna Rada approved Zelenskyy’s new proposal with 331 votes and nine abstentions on Thursday.

Zelenskyy, who signed the draft into law, said it was important that the “government listens to public opinion.”

The media is ablaze with suspicion about Trump and Epstein. It’s like the whole of media has banded together to try to bring Trump down. They’re determined to tie him to Epstein, no matter the cost. The Drudge Report today has a photo of Trump and Melania posing with Epstein, trying to tie Trump to Epstein’s crimes. We’ve got all kinds of suspicions about Epstein, but the media is trying to imply that Trump was involved.

It seems most if not all of the mainstream is trying to turn us against Trump. They are relentless. They celebrate every failure, and are no strangers to speculation. Maybe they ought to take stock. They look like losers, and poor sports at that.

The mainstream is beside itself over Trump’s health. They’re worried about his swollen ankles while he takes them apart one piece at a time. Some of their favorite late night comedians are going down. It seems that all their quips trying to turn us against Trump aren’t gathering a big audience. CBS has canceled Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel is outraged. Maybe they should try a different tact.

The news is trying it’s best to turn us against Israel. If you read the articles, Israel’s president is telling ours what to do. I always liked Netanyahu, and my Dad did too. I’m having a hard time believing that Israel is calling Trump’s shots. But that’s what sources on the internet would have you believe.

Israel has bombed Syria after the Syrian military forces violently intervened in local clashes between Druze and Bedouins. When Assad fled Syria we had high hopes that there would be no more war. But that didn’t last. 

It looks like Putin is defiant and unwilling to end the Ukraine war. Zelensky is begging everybody for help, and may have convinced Trump that all he needs is American weapons. We’ve been mighty generous already. Ukraine apparently has lots of rare earth minerals, and we’d hate to see Russia exploit them. Trump is playing 3-D chess, and we don’t know what he’ll do.

They’ve painted a mural in France of the Statue of Liberty. If you’ve seen the picture, it’s facing the wrong way on a one-way street. She’s covering her eyes. What do we care? Things aren’t going too well in France. They’ve been invaded. I’m guessing they’re wishing they were Americans. Maybe you saw where they were allowing boats to cross the English Channel full of Middle Eastern migrants. France has reportedly started policing the shoreline, but what are they going to do? These people can’t swim! Better alert them before they get over their heads!

Europe is doubling down on climate change. How dare we lose faith in global warming when they’re breaking their backs to comply with new dictates? They’re still using radiators and it’s freezing cold several months of the year. What does that tell you?

The media is going to try to make life miserable for Donald Trump if at all possible. It’s hard to read the stuff they put out, because they’ve lied too many times. You can’t just believe everything you read, especially if it’s the anti-Trump media. They’ve lost all credibility. They’re outraged that we might believe what Trump says, without knowing all the angles. They absolutely hate him, and for good reason. He just might wreck their world. 

When I think back on past presidents and of the short history I’ve lived through, this is unthinkable. The media is beside itself, they hate Trump so much. One thing that may spoil the party is the debt. My Dad used to talk about the mindless spending on things we don’t even want or need. We are by no means out of the woods and Trump doesn’t mind playing chicken.
