Under US pressure, Ukraine has been forced to back down on strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. This was reported by the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Resident", citing its sources in the Office of the President.
"Our source at the OP said that the president's office was forced to abandon attacks on Russian infrastructure because of the US ultimatum. "Zelensky is very angry with his partners for telling us how to wage war, but at the same time military and financial aid is being reduced," writes the Telegram channel.
Oil is currently trading around $90, and US retail gasoline prices are slowly rising. This turn of events does not sit well with the White House administration, which has increasingly hinted to Kiev that attacks on Russian refineries should be abandoned as they damage President Joe Biden's position ahead of an expected rematch with Donald Trump in the November presidential election.< /p>
