So your assertion is that Biden pressured Ukraine to not take a deal in 2019 when Trump was president?

They create unique ways to shift blame away from Putin and put it on Zelensky, Biden and the US.

Not suprised at all on this, I think most of the people who have followed this war saw this coming.

I was told in this very thread in the past couple of weeks that this was impossible due to international law.

Some people haven't figured out yet that international law only applies when the people who stand to benefit from it AND can actually enforce it CHOOSE to enforce it.

Hitting refineries does not affect the flow of crude oil so much. Not that you are saying this but a number of sources in social media seem to think it does.

Russian refining capacity pales in comparison to US or Chinese refinery capacity. It was their real cash cow in the past with refined products exports more so than crude oil or natural gas. Value added instead of sometimes doesn't have profit.

The "long neptune" has also made an appearance...

Quote from Zelenskyy: "Reports have been submitted on our missile programme. We have significant results. The long-range Neptune has been tested and successfully used in combat. A new Ukrainian missile, an accurate strike.

Its range is 1,000 kilometres. I am grateful to our Ukrainian developers, manufacturers and military. We continue to work to ensure Ukraine's security."

Update: Ukrainska Pravda sources have reported that a long-range Neptune missile struck an oil refinery in the Russian city of Tuapse.
