WEAK DONALD TRUMP ( AGAIN ) FAILS TO ASSERT HIS POWERS OVER UKRAINE – MOON OF ALABAMA

What happened: Trump announced a deal on Russian diesel exports and an "energy ceasefire" in Ukraine; the Treasury lifted restrictions on Russian oil products. Zelenski rejected the move, and Ukrainian drones later hit Russian oil export terminals at Rostov-on-Don. Key numbers: Ukrainian drones struck Rostov-on-Don terminals a few hours after Zelenski's rejection. Why it matters: The content argues Kiev will not concede to U.S. terms unless Washington withholds intelligence and Starshield access, and that Russia has no reason to negotiate with Washington over Ukraine.
