Scoop: The US has urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure, warning senior SBU and GUR officials that drone strikes risk driving up global oil prices and provoking retaliation.

Shut The Fuck Up. Seriously. Shut The Fuck Up.
You aren't even able to give Ukraine aid anymore and you have the nerve to tell them what to do? First the West doesn't want to give Ukraine long-range weapons, then they finally give them (some) but demand they don't be used on Russian territory, so Ukraine develops their own and still gets told how to use their own damn weapons by the West.
I'm sick to death of western politicians, a bunch of fucking cowards, if America and others aren't putting a million restrictions on Ukraine, they're being absolute cowards about "redlines" and sending Ukraine certain weapons. Some western politicians should fuck off into a bear infested forest and try to fight a bear with their bare hands, drag their mangled body back and tell us how it went, that's what they're demanding of Ukraine.
How many restrictions is that now?
They can't use certain weapons on or inside of Russia, the West cries when Ukraine assassinates Russians involved in the war, Ukraine isn't allowed certain weapons still (Taurus) because there's a lack of trust, the West takes months to debate on delivering certain weapons because they're afraid of escalations, not allowed to hit Kerch Bridge with western weapons, now they can't hit Russia's energy infrastructure.
Yes this is probably an election reason too but what the fuck should Ukraine do? Hold back like they've been told to for the past 2 years? In the hope that Biden will win the election? While not receiving any aid from America until then? And if Dems don't take back House they might not get that aid anyway. Absolutely ridiculous.
For the past two years, Russia has been fighting this like an actual war, whilst Ukraine has been told to fight like it's a boxing match, I don't think western politicians have the stomach for a war anymore, they don't understand what a fucking war is, Ukraine has been fighting with one arm tied behind its back for 2 fucking years now.
And there's western idiots who think NATO wants a war with Russia? Lmfao.
We are at this point because of the cowardice of the West, because from day one the West dragged their feet because of "scary escalation" and if Ukraine actually got what it needed from day one, things may be very different, but instead we spent months to debate about how angry Russia would be if we did this or that and people in the west have the nerve to criticise Ukraine for failing offensives when they half ass support.
