🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky says Ukraine has wrecked 45% of Russia’s refining capacity and he isn’t stopping
He asked Trump for a winter package including Patriots in their New York meeting, and expects Washington to push for a ceasefire on energy strikes, though he doubts Putin moves without new sanctions since the Russian leader has his elections behind him and feels no pressure.
Trump has been leaning on Kyiv to quit hitting refineries because of what it does to fuel prices, and Zelensky confirmed that pressure is real even though prices never came up in their talk.
Zelensky, on why he keeps burning Russian refineries:
“Our lives are more important than the price of energy.”
American diesel hit $6.53 on Tuesday, up almost a dollar in a month, and Zelensky blames Hormuz for most of that.
He’s right that Putin only moves when something hurts, and refineries are the only thing Ukraine can reach that actually does.
Asking Trump for Patriots while ignoring his one request is a gamble, because the interceptors Kyiv needs are the same ones America burned through in the Gulf, and the president is bargaining hard to get pump prices down before November.

INTERPOL hunts terrorists and criminals, but hostile governments try to weaponize international police channels to find dissidents abroad. U.S. intelligence tries to recognize when law enforcement becomes transnational repression. Putin is a major abuser. #Counterintelligence #INTERPOL #NationalSecurity

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky: President Trump and I and our teams have discussed how to end the war. That is a priority.
We are ready. I am not sure if Russia is ready today, but in any case we have discussed an energy truce.
We are ready for an energy truce if they do not attack our energy, our power grids, our heating and water supply. That is our proposal. We are grateful to the American side. They will hand it over to the Russians. I do not know Russia’s position.
Tomorrow President Trump will meet with the leader of China. I told the President very frankly that we believe that if he also involves President Xi, he has influence over Putin. If we want to end this war not only in words, then we all have to work on it around the clock – for the people.
We also talked about winter. This is important on the way to negotiations. We have to prepare. It will not be easy. We are asking the American side for two things. The first is a winter package of missiles for the Patriots. The second is the licenses to produce Patriot missiles. We also need security guarantees for Ukraine.
In my opinion, the most important step that President Trump can take is to organize a trilateral meeting where the leaders can raise all the sensitive issues and try to end the war.

🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu is skipping JFK and cutting his New York trip short to dodge protests, with no Trump meeting planned
Ynet reports he’ll land at a military field in New Jersey or at Newark rather than JFK, partly over complications involving Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and his team is bracing for heckling or a walkout by entire delegations during his speech.
Meetings with Marco Rubio and other foreign leaders are still being weighed, but nothing with the president is on the books.
Officials close to him say the address will center on Iran and may hold surprises.
Trump has spent this week sitting with Gulf leaders and sending Witkoff and Kushner into three hours of talks with Iran’s delegation, so Washington’s whole focus right now is on finding a way out of this war.
Netanyahu is 35 days from an election he’s losing and walking into a hall that may empty out on him, and the president who could hand him a headline has no time on the calendar.
Whatever surprise he’s saving for Iran, it has to be big enough to change a race back home, which is EXACTLY the kind of pressure that produces reckless announcements.

🚨🇺🇳 ¡ÉXODO EN LA ONU!
Decenas de delegaciones abandonaron la sala cuando Netanyahu subió al podio.
El hemiciclo quedó prácticamente vacío. Una imagen que refleja la enorme fractura diplomática en torno al conflicto de Oriente Medio.

The FBI said it was probing a suspected hack, after the cybercriminal group ShinyHunters claimed to have breached its systems.
ShinyHunters hackers say they breached FBI, stole data on bureau employees trib.al/p5Phja9

‼️ BREAKING: ShinyHunters claims it breached the FBI through an unpatched Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day and stole 2 to 3TB of data on current and former employees and job applicants.
The group says the hack is retaliation for a May FBI alert that profiled it and has given the bureau a week to correct or remove the alert.
The FBI has not confirmed the breach, though multiple news outlets have verified the evidence.
