Zelensky Responds as Ukraine Strikes Deep Into Russia and Trump Pursues Energy Deals

All hell is breaking loose as Ukraine's President Zelensky fights for his life and fights for the survival of Ukraine as the Trump regime tries to force Ukraine to surrender. Last night, Ukraine launched massive drone strikes into St. Petersburg, striking oil ports there, striking the VK data center. A giant data center was struck and hit hard. A bridge in St. Petersburg was hit hard by Ukraine. Also, the Sergit Oil Refinery and Petrochemical Center, 2,400 kilometers from the front, was struck by Ukraine's long-range drones, as was the Ryazan Oil Refinery, will go over each of these Ukrainian strikes. Also, this comes at the same time that in the UK. Their military chief is saying that UK needs to prepare for the worst. They need to prepare for all-out war coming this winter. And folks, it is not hyperbolic to describe the various regional wars right now throughout the world all colliding as a world war. That is how the top military leaders throughout the world are seeing this. Look, you have a number of Romani. You have a number of Romanian F-16s last night and throughout the day trying to shoot down these Russian drones over Romanian airspace, a NATO member. And you know, we've been reporting how in the Romanian economic zone in the Black Sea, as well as the Bulgarian economic zone in the Black Sea, numerous vessels were destroyed this past week by Russia as well. With all of this going on, the Trump regime is looking to further. Expand business transactions with Russia. You have Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's envoy to the United States who leads their sovereign wealth fund, says that he's been talking with Trump and Witkoff and Kushner, not just about the diesel deal, which was already inked, but gas deals, fertilizer deals, data center deals, uranium deals that the Trump regime and Russia looking to expand this relationship. This is what the Trump regime is focused on right now, as the United States is also just less than a few weeks away from the midterm. So let's break this all down. Let's bring the receipts and show you what's taking place. So last night, the strikes by Ukraine against St. Petersburg. Here we have footage of Ukraine striking the oil port, setting it ablaze. With massive fires rising. This is one of Russia's largest fuel storage and export facilities. Zelensky said two days ago, Ukraine will restart major strikes on Russian energy. The block on attacking refineries is out. We're done. We're hitting back. Watch what took place here. Let's play this clip. I showed you some B-roll there as well. Look at this photo of what it looked like. And in addition to that oil port right there, Ukraine struck a data center belonging to Russian social media giant VK. This follows last week's strikes against the Yandex data center. Yandex is like the Google. Google of Russia. VK is their social media giant. It's like 56 to 60% decrease in normal connectivity nationwide as a result of these strikes. This facility is the original high capacity hub that VK was built on near St. Petersburg. Clip number one. Let's play it. I want to show you more footage right here from some of those strikes in St. Petersburg. More here from Peter. Let's play this. Clip. Now, this is the moment of the attack on the bridge in St. Petersburg with those Ukrainian drones. You'll recall two weeks ago, and we're going to see a lot more of this. Russia struck hard on some of the main northern bridges in Kiev. And it is, of course, Russia's plan to try to cut off all access to Kiev. Destroy all of the bridges. Shut off all of the thermal power plants. All of the central heating plants. Leave Ukraine without heating and without power heading into the winter. But let's be clear. Winter is already there for Ukraine because a lot of the heating is already shut off. Lots of people are having to live underground in the metro at this point as a result of the constant bombardment of the Russian ballistics, the Russian cruise missiles. Those. Iskanders. The weapons that are also provided by North Korea. The new Garand 4 and Garand 5 drones. Zelensky does not have any interceptors to stop the Russian ballistics. The interceptors were promised. Their interceptor license were promised by the Trump regime. Never delivered. And don't even get me started on Donald Trump and Elon Musk throttling Ukraine's ability to access Star Shield and Star Link. And if it goes over a certain miles per hour. The drones. Don't work anymore. And the drone interceptors don't work. Rendering Ukraine's drone capabilities ineffective as well. I want to talk more about what Rubio said in just a moment. I digress their apologies. But let me get back to the moment of the attack on the bridge in St. Petersburg. Now, as I noted at the outset, Kareel Dimitri. Of Russia's envoy to the United States. One of Putin's top lieutenants. The head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund. He talks about how glad Russia is that Donald Trump has also waived the enforcement of the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Act. Which was to apply massive sanctions against Russia and countries that do business with Russia and purchase Russian oil. Trump says, I ain't enforcing that. Trump issued an executive order Friday night. Saying, I am hereby waiving all of the terms of the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Act. In fact, I will be buying Russian diesel. Which, as I note, is a violation of the 2022 End Russian Diesel Importation Act. And the law that Trump signed in 2017 called CAATSA. Which requires a congressional certification if there is a material change in your dealings with Russia. Dimitri, I'm celebrating the economic dialogue that I noted before. Celebrating the talks with Witkoff and Kushner. About even potentially having Russia get hundreds of billions of dollars in frozen sanctions funds. Witkoff and Kushner went to Europe and saying, please unfreeze the Russian money. The Europeans were like, no, we're not going to do it. Witkoff, Kushner and Trump then went to the Europeans and were like, please, let's do gas pipeline deals with Russia. Europe was like, no, we're not doing any of that. Especially big objections from Germany and France. And look, I think that a lot of what we're seeing in France, a lot of the discord that we're seeing in Europe right now. My own view, my own opinion is that there are elements. I'm not suggesting the whole thing is like this. I'm just suggesting there are elements that are being stoked by Russia. There are elements being stoked by Netanyahu. There are elements being stoked by Trump and the CIA. You know, there are elements being stoked there as part. Of this authoritarian network right now, fueling some of what we see there in France, fueling what we saw in Spain with some of the migration movements as well. The arsonists, the arsonists blow it all up. Anarchy, the Epstein class, go read the Epstein files. They talk about this stuff as well. What the Epstein class anarchists do when they blow up the systems and then they snatch all of the money for the oligarchs while people are fearful. And terrified and in the catastrophe, this is when the oligarchs screw the people over the most. We talked more about the data centers, all these projects that the Trump regime and Putin are working on right now that Kirill Dmitriyev discussed last night. Donald Trump was hosting his MAGA Inc. Dinner of all of the oligarchs were at Mar-a-Lago last night, and he took a question from one of the reporters. Good for this reporter. if we're at least asking the question, about Donald Trump waiving sanctions on Russia Russia and doing all of these deals with Russia. Watch what Trump says. Let's play it. You don't know what my decision is yet, but we'll figure it out and you'll figure it out. That's a very good decision and it's going to be a decision that's good for the country and I think that for the world because we're really at a world stage and the Iran war is going very well, a lot of very good things that we're seeing and the country is doing phenomenally well. These are some of the biggest business leaders in the world and we're having a little dinner together in Mar-a-Lago and we look forward to it. But I will tell you that there has never been a time where our country is so advanced and some of you are at the leading edge, some of you are in that particular business where it's a leading edge. This is what Secretary of State Rubio said last night regarding the Star Shield. So SpaceX has Starlink and Star Shield. Starlink is a consumer. Star Shield is for the defense industry. Ukraine used both Starlink and Star Shield. We know that and both were throttled. Both were being throttled by the Trump regime or Musk and Trump was saying Musk did it and Musk was saying Trump doing it, but we know that they were both doing it. They were both doing it together. I mean, it's not really that hard for us to figure out what the hell was actually happening here. But Rubio last night on the tarmac says that Star Shield was never available to Ukraine and he goes, "I don't know what's, everything's fine. I can't speak to what's happening." Rubio is lying right here. Zelensky did a test in Europe of the drones using these Starlink systems there and it worked. Just over Ukraine and Russia, it is throttled by SpaceX essentially. And by the way, we're also not just talking about the offensive capabilities of Ukraine. We're also talking about the drone interceptor capabilities as well to intercept the Russian Garand 4s and Garand 5s. This by the way, is in addition to the early warning satellite systems, which the Trump regime also shut down regarding the ballistics. Not only did they do that, but they also stopped giving Ukraine the interceptors. Anyway, here is what Rubio said. Play this clip. On Star, on Star Shield, what's going on? Because Elon Musk said it's up to the president. Well, Star Shield or Starlink? Well, just both. Well, yeah, I know. It's confusing. So Starlink is a commercial product, okay? And so you all, it's regulated and handled as a commercial product. Star Shield is a defense product, a military product. And as I said, I mean, that, that is something that. That we have a military, United States military uses. It's not at this moment available to Ukraine. And that's under conversation. I mean, it's under discussion right now about how they would want to use it. No, but did the US, did the US have anything to do with it not working in Ukraine at the moment? Zelensky said it was deliberate. No. Well, I don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure Zelensky knows what he's talking about, but it wasn't deliberate. We had nothing to do with that. I don't, I don't. The United States, nobody ordered that Starlink speed to be slowed down. It sort of happened. But my understanding is it's been restored. It's back to where it was before. So. That's Starlink though. They were using Starlink for their drones. Has Star Shield been restored? Star Shield is a totally different product. Star Shield is a contract with the US military. It has nothing to do with Ukraine. I know Ukraine wants access to Star Shield. They do not have Star Shield now. They've asked for access to it in order to conduct deep strikes inside of Russia. They do not have access to it at this moment. Those are two different products. But you have to have a theory as to why obviously Ukraine has reported disruptions. Yeah. I don't know what their theory is. But it wasn't nothing to do with the White House. I saw a report on that the other day. It's just categorically false. No one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down internet or slow down speed so that certain drones couldn't use it. But my understanding is it's back up and running. That's what I read. You know, that's what we heard two days ago. More from Rubio here on the sanction waivers from Russia. Rubio said the problem is that they were not just sanctions on Russia. They include tariffs on a number of countries. So now you're saying, what are you saying? They're not just sanctions on Russia, they include tariffs on a number of countries. So now you're saying tariffs are bad? So the Trump regime, which was using the fact that countries like India purchased Russian diesel as pretext to tariff India, you're now saying that's the reason why the United States is doing diesel deals with Russia and waiving sanctions under the Lindsey Graham Sanctions Act because now the U.S. wants to do what you sanctioned other countries for? There is no logic to this. You're just a treasonous freaking traitor, is who he is. Here, play this clip. Sir, on the sanctions waivers on Russia, Senator Ted Cruz today called it a big mistake that only serves to benefit Putin. I'm wondering. What your response is to that? Well, there are other countries. The problem is these sanctions were not just sanctions on Russia. They include tariffs on a number of countries, India, for example, and others. And so I think the president wants to take the 60 day period of time to sort of analyze what imposing both sanctions and tariffs will mean to the global economy and even to the U.S. economy. I think when the bill was passed, one of the reasons the waivers were put in there is understanding that they would need some period of time to study this. Given all the different things that are going on in the world right now, including the pressure on global energy supplies that are happening, not just because of Iran and not just because of the Straits of Hormuz, but increasingly because of the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia and because of the war with Ukraine and Russia. And then Rubio was asked, so there's criticism that we're basically giving Putin something for nothing. And then Rubio's like, the diesel was going to be sold one way or another. Actually, it wasn't. Even in Russia, they had a diesel export ban because they don't have a surplus of diesel, leading me and some others to believe that. It may actually be Iranian diesel being routed to Russia that's then being sold to the United States. It's not of any significant quantity that's going to fundamentally change the global diesel market. Look at the freaking price of diesel right now. You'll see it's not moving the market of diesel at all. In fact, the price of diesel is going up right now. And this is also just part of a broader pretext to normalize the relation so that all those other deals. I talked about can be done here. Play this clip right here. Waiver and the diesel deal. I mean, there's a criticism that we're basically giving Putin something for nothing. We're giving Putin these these freebies. What's your response? That diesel is going to be sold one way or the other. I mean, the diesel that Putin was going to sell, they were making available to the global market one way or the other. The only difference is how much of it the United States was going to get. So but this is not unprecedented. If you recall a few months ago, we also did a 60 day waiver on Russian oil when Hormuz was being challenged. Meanwhile, you have Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. He will be meeting with Iran's foreign minister, Aragchi, on Monday, among other things. They'll likely be talking about the supersonic cruise missile deals they have together, the drone deals they have together, the other economic cooperation and its public knowledge. I mean, Russia is in a JV with Iran and their nuclear plants, the Bushir plant and billions of dollars. More Russia will be investing in Iran. And so Russia provides Iran and Iran provides Russia with weapons as part of their military alliance. But then the Trump regime is at war with Iran, a catastrophic war we shouldn't have started. But then they're helping Russia help Iran kill American. I mean, I mean, the Trump regime is a bunch of traitors. They're treasonous. They're war criminals. And they're just dumb. It's like a bunch of, you know, they. They. They are the enemy from within. They are the weapon of mass destruction, killing the United States right now. That's what's going on.
