The Trump administration is threatening to stop the procurement system that provides Ukraine with weapons in order to press Kyiv to halt its deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, according to officials in Europe.

The US message, the officials added, included threats to cut off intelligence sharing and Purl — the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List mechanism for procuring US weapons for Ukraine. The Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) is a NATO-brokered procurement mechanism that allows NATO Allies and European nations to pay for U.S.-manufactured military equipment and munitions on Ukraine’s behalf

The French Navy has boarded a Russian shadow fleet tanker for the first time in the Indian Ocean.The vessel, DF Peak, was intercepted more than 450 nautical miles south of Réunion while sailing under the flag of Benin.

The tanker is on the EU sanctions list and has been identified as part of Russia’s shadow fleet since June 25, 2024, when it was operating under the name Kaliningrad.

French authorities say it was sailing under a false flag. The vessel has now been diverted at the request of the public prosecutor and is being escorted by the French Navy. France says the operation demonstrates its determination to crack down on Russia’s shadow fleet and enforce international maritime law.

Russia hit's back!

Two vessels were struck by drones, likely Russian, today in the Black Sea just 18 miles off the coast of Bulgaria, with one vessels sinking. Rescue operations are currently underway, as at least twelve crew members, possibly Ukrainian, have been reported injured. This follows last week’s swathe of attacks against shipping within the EEZs of NATO nations in the Black Sea, with it being best to describe the response from the nations involved as paltry.

• OSINTdefender reports two vessels struck by likely Russian drones 18 miles off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, with one sinking and at least 12 crew members possibly Ukrainian reported injured during ongoing rescue operations.
• The attached video features Bulgarian President Rumen Radev confirming a distress signal from a ship hit by three air drones east of Byala at 01:30, prompting an immediate search and rescue response by the Varna Maritime Rescue Center.
• This follows multiple recent drone attacks on commercial shipping in NATO nations' Black Sea EEZs, with the post criticizing the involved countries' response as inadequate amid Russia's continued pressure on maritime routes.

One way ceasefire.

No, phantom ceasefire created out of thin air in a futile attempt to influence both fuel prices and the mid term elections.

Zelensky hints at intel sharing cut off from the Americans

An ordinary residential building was destroyed in Kharkiv; the rescue operation continued virtually all night as first responders searched for people under the rubble. Four people were killed in this strike on the building in Kharkiv. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. In Kharkiv alone, 41 people were injured in just one evening. There was also a particularly vile ballistic missile strike on Kyiv – five missiles that hit civilian infrastructure

Unfortunately, we received no early warning from our partners about this strike. Intelligence on Russian ballistic missile launches helps save lives, and this is one of the most critical issues. This is precisely what helps prevent people from being killed – when there is an early warning about ballistic missiles.

Is that a bad thing? I would like to see gas and oil prices come down and as far as the midterms goes, I think both sides do it. Like I said in another post. "It's getting deep." I'll just be glad when thanksgiving comes. I'm really getting sick of the political BS. Every day I have to delete BS on my phone from some politician asking for money or vote for me propoganda.

Is that a bad thing?

Yes. It's an attempt to deceive American citizens in an effort to influence an election. I think that's a bad thing. This is about more than just fuel prices.

I would like to see gas and oil prices come down

I would like to see that as well. Not going to happen while the people controlling the war are deliberately broadcasting what's going to happen in order to manipulate the markets and profit by their foreknowledge.

and as far as the midterms goes, I think both sides do it.

Of course both sides do it. I've been preaching that fact for years now. The problem seems to be that as long as one group's guy is in charge, they don't care what he does. I'd bet you my entire 401k that Trump could wear a tan suit tomorrow and MAGA would be gushing over the brave fashion trend he's setting.

I hate to disillusion you, but the political BS is only going to get worse after the election, regardless of the results. You need to buckle up, remain seated, and keep your hands inside the ride at all times. It's only going to get more chaotic from here.

You don't think the president would really like to see the russia, Ukraine war come to an end?

I would like to know more about this please. I have seen innuendo about this before. Chalked it up to political prapoganda.

You're right! GO MAGA! RAH, RAH, RAH!

Think I'll watch a good movie. Sports is good now to. Just hope we don't blow ourselves up while I'm doing it.
