It’s logical.

Zelenskyy: “This is a particularly critical time, when new steps are needed to prevent Russia from getting the impression that it can break the world and continue the war forever.”

He also claimed Russia is the biggest diesel supplier globally - 🤣

1. Russia is not winning on the battlefield and had to reform the entire budget in favor of the continuous war against sovereign Ukraine. 2. Zelenskyy has reacted favorably to any suggestion of a peaceful deal that would stop Russian aggression. Each attempt of such was declined by Kremlin.

And my crazy neighbor on the street said US should get a new president. So, it’s time for AP to report on it.

Latest on RU plague Based on info provided by NFP, WHO has not identified evidence of ongoing transmission associated with this event. A key uncertainty remains the absence of a confirmed diagnosis in the deceased lab worker. WHO will continue to monitor the situation.

New press secretary, old narratives

These are separate journalists, not their state media .

It is also rumoured that the “diesel deal” is a step toward DJT and those in his proximity acquiring shares to overseas assets of the Russian Lukoil. If and when I have credible confirmation, I will report on this. If this is true, it’s all about lifting sanctions than purchasing any diesel.

Per Russian media, “Russian sources expect that as well as purchasing Russian oil and diesel, Donald Trump will provide Russia with spare parts to repair the refineries damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. They anticipate that Trump's fuel deal will lead to a Russian victory.”

NASA: As part of the agency’s Inspiration Tour flyover, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman will pilot one of three F-5 fighter jets to kick off the New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns game in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Trump to pool: "We're watching it very closely, the hurricane," he said, adding that it was "under control."

Check my latest brief for details - the schedule with Russia is gradual.

So let’s stop entertaining the notion that the whole saga has anything remotely to do with offsetting diesel prices.

Because Canada's baseline export volume to the US is so massive, a modest 4% bump in Canadian production and pipeline flow would equal roughly 36-40M barrels over that same timeframe, completely offsetting Russian supply.

US-Russia pact specifies an immediate shipment of 300K tons, followed by 500K tons in November, and eventually ramping up to a maximum total of 4.8M metric tons (roughly 36M barrels) spread over the next few months.

4% increase in imports from Canada would easily replace the entire physical volume of diesel “negotiated” in the new US-Russia pact.

I guess commenting is easier than reading. But this here has the details.

Here's diesel, and gasoline. Today's brief has the exasct details on their export ban and when they planned to lift it. Details matter.
