On Putin's weak spot! Joe Biden's calls not to attack Russian refineries are complete nonsense

The White House's call to stop attacks on refineries on the territory of the Russian Federation because of a possible rise in oil prices is an absurd and doomed political decision of the administration of US President Joe Biden, commented in the editorial office of the American newspaper The Hill .

"During World War II, the Allies began bombing the oil refineries of Nazi Germany in 1942 and continued to do so with the same force until the end of the war in May 1945. This was the key to winning the war as it deprived the Germans of the ability to refuel tanks, bombers, armored vehicles and supply trucks. To win the war, Ukraine must also reduce the Kremlin's ability to supply troops with ammunition and weapons on the front lines in the Donbass and the Crimean peninsula”, the editors emphasize.

And the position of the Biden administration "to put the price of gasoline above the lives and sovereignty of Ukrainians” is defined as "terrible“ by the authors of the material. "Biden's success in the November election cannot be considered more important than saving the lives of Ukrainians.

The newspaper also emphasized that the White House has not condemned recent Russian cruise missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian civilian sites and energy infrastructure. And Biden still continues to hold the critical weapons and ammunition that Ukraine needs to fight and win the war.

"Zelensky hits back with what he has - drones. And he's hitting Russia where it hurts, in the wallet. He attacks the Kremlin's global means of financing Putin's war”, writes The Hill.

Meanwhile, Putin has not given up on his idea of destroying Ukraine and has no intention of giving up until the US and NATO can give Ukraine everything it needs for an effective confrontation.

"There is still no plan to beat Russia. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin opened the 20th Conference of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Ramstein with the statement: "The United States and this coalition will not allow Ukraine to fail.”. But this will happen if the weapons necessary to defeat and force the Russian military out of Ukraine are not provided. Defensive weapons will not be up to the task”.

For Ukraine, there is now a choice: victory or death, and due to the depletion of ammunition for close combat, Ukrainian forces are forced to strike strategic targets in order to weaken Russia, the publication writes.

"The West has no effective response. Ukraine has one, but the White House doesn't like it. Washington and Brussels must start making more informed decisions because Putin will not give up.
