🔹 12 strikes on the Ryazan Oil Refinery.
🔹 A strike on the Dyagilevo military airfield, the same base from which Russia launched its first bombing raid on Mariupol.
🔹 A strike on the Novo-Ryazan Thermal Power Plant.
They say there might be even more—it’s just that the video operators over there aren't as active as they are here. 🎥🔥

But now this inability to solve this problem in the foreseeable future has led to the fact that our geopolitical enemies use it as a trump card in the fight against us.”

Just wait until President Trump tightens the screws.
We will know the results in a few hours

Well now, it certainly DOES look like the Biden Administration was preventing Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian power grid in the name of "Escalation Management."

“12 strikes on the Ryazan Oil Refinery.”
Time for a deal yet?
American Weapons remain flowing to Ukraine. Time is not on Putin’s side.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending foreign aid programs for 90 days does not apply to military assistance for Ukraine, the Pentagon confirmed to the Ukrainian Service of Voice of America on Jan. 23.
“Security assistance to Ukraine is not subject to the restrictions of the recent foreign assistance order, as it only applies to development programs, not military support,” the U.S. Department of Defense stated.
Contracts under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) and weapon deliveries from U.S. warehouses under the Presidential Depletion Authority (PDA) will remain unaffected.”
Russia is reportedly planning to deploy additional North Korean forces, missiles, artillery systems, and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Kursk Oblast to support Russian long-range fire operations. Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov told The War Zone in an article published on January 22 that North Korea will deploy an unspecified number of additional missile and artillery troops to Kursk Oblast at an unspecified future time.[1] Budanov reported that North Korea is unlikely to deploy a large number of additional ground combat troops, however. Budanov stated that North Korea has provided Russia with roughly 120 M-1989 Koksan 170mm self-propelled artillery systems and 120 M-1991 240mm MLRS since November 2024 and will likely send at least 120 more of each system in the future. The GUR previously reported in November 2024 that North Korea had provided Russia with roughly 100 of each of these systems as of October 2024.[2] Budanov stated that North Korea plans to provide Russia with 150 additional KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles in 2025 and sent Russia 148 KN-23 missiles in 2024. Budanov noted that North Korean troops typically operate North Korean-provided weapons in Kursk Oblast and are also training Russian forces on these systems. A US senior defense official recently told the New York Times (NYT) that additional North Korean forces will arrive in Russian “within the next two months (roughly mid-March 2025).”[3]
The Kremlin appears to be growing increasingly concerned about perceptions of Russia's economic instability. Reuters, citing five sources with knowledge of the situation, reported on January 23 that Russian President Vladimir Putin is growing increasingly concerned about “distortions” in the Russian economy due to the war in Ukraine.[4] Two sources familiar with “thinking in the Kremlin” told Reuters that there is a camp within the Russian elite that views a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine as desirable and key to addressing Russia's economic issues. One source claimed that Putin recognizes the strain that the war is placing on the Russian economy and assesses that he has achieved his “key war goals” in Ukraine, including seizing land in southern Ukraine to connect Russia within occupied Crimea and weakening the Ukrainian military. The source did not speculate on Putin's willingness to end the war, however. Russian opposition outlet Meduza reported on January 9 — citing sources in the Russian presidential administration, State Duma, and wider Russian federal government and regional governments — that Russian elites are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the impact of the war on the Russian economy.[5] ISW noted on January 22 that the Kremlin recently launched an information operation that seeks to create the false impression that the Russian economy is performing well despite numerous continued indicators of macroeconomic distress.[6]

Trump has argued that Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to avoid the war...."I could have made that deal so easily, and Zelenskyy decided that 'I want to fight,'" Trump said.

The Unity, a 16-year-old aframax, departed Primorsk on January 16 with Russian oil bound for Mangalore in India. The ship ran into difficulties overnight off the west coast of France. It has lost propulsion during extremely stormy conditions in the Atlantic. Shipping database Equasis shows the vessel is owned by Moscow-headquartered Argo Tanker Group, who acquired the ship in September last year.
German authorities had to rescue another laden Russian tanker in the Baltic 14 days ago. The 19-year-old Eventin, carrying nearly 100,000 tons of Russian oil, broke down and was towed to the German port of Sassnitz.

I believe President Trump has given a "Green Light" to attack ruzzian petroleum and energy infrastructure.
He has also signaled 100 (now 96) days to achieve a peace deal.
I don't think pootin can last 96 days.
The x.com blogger below believes that in 6 months ruzzian oil industry will no longer exist.
With Russia's remaining air defenses now either protecting Putin's palaces or busy in Ukraine, the primary cash machine for all Russian global terror is exposed, and now being dismantled, one by one.
Six months from now, there will be no Russian oil industry.

So, No Deal.
A precise hit on the third vehicle split the convoy, forcing the infantry from the damaged BMP to dismount in a vulnerable position, where they came under fire.
The tank and first BMP continued forward but were later destroyed.
