Today’s edition of the New York Post, a newspaper read in Republican offices in Washington and New York.
As Americans watch the evacuation operation in Oleshky, they must remember who bears responsibility for the countless deaths in Ukraine. Their blood is on the hands of Putin and the russians. To end this war, the United States must pressure russia, not Ukraine.
Three organizations – Razom for Ukraine, American Coalition for Ukraine, and Nova Ukraine – placed the following advertisement in the New York Post.
Translation of the advertisement:
“You are a humanitarian, sir, and I pay tribute to you for that,” – Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Putin.
Just days earlier, russia bombed a residential building in Zaporizhzhia, killing 17 people, including a mother and child who were holding hands.
Pressure russia, not Ukraine.

“328 Ukrainian civilians were killed last month by Russia, according to the @UN. @POTUS should be putting real pressure on Putin, not rolling out the red carpet on U.S. soil for his cronies.” -@SenatorShaheen

Thank you, Emmanuel, for your condolences. Unfortunately, the death toll from the Russian strike on a commuter train in Dnipro has already risen to 14. And just a few hours ago, the Russians struck a residential neighborhood in Chernihiv with a drone and killed two girls. They were only 15 years old. In Kremenchuk, a Russian “shahed” struck an apartment building. Tragically, three people were killed. My condolences to all those who lost their loved ones. In these three attacks alone, 56 people have been reported injured, including 10 children.
These are deliberate strikes against civilians, brazen in their cruelty, and the Russians are carrying them out right as the humanitarian operation in Oleshky is unfolding. Russia’s signals are clear – they want the war to continue, and everyone around the world must still work very hard to achieve major de-escalation through strong steps and appropriate pressure on the aggressor.
Peace is needed – and for that to happen, Russia must end its war and terror.
Je viens d'apprendre avec émotion qu'un drone à réaction russe vient de s'abattre sur la gare de Dnipro, avec un très lourd bilan.
J'adresse au Président @ZelenskyyUa et au peuple ukrainien mes condoléances et notre solidarité.
Nous devons, dans ce contexte, aspirer à bien plus qu'un cessez-le-feu localisé comme celui qui vient d'être négocié localement à Olechky. Il est intolérable que la Russie continue d'opposer son refus à toutes les propositions en ce sens, en continuant de miser sur l'escalade et en visant les civils.
Nous devons ensemble redoubler d'efforts pour une paix juste et durable et amener la Russie à la table des négociations.

A father screams in anguish beside the body of his dead daughter. Two 15-year-old girls were killed in a russian attack on the center of Chernihiv, Ukraine.
Dozens are injured, including four children aged 10, 16, and 17, and a 10-month-old baby girl.
Meanwhile, Trump has ordered Ukriane not to hit russian oil refineries, so that russia could make billions and build more rockets and drones to kill more Ukrainians.

Today, the evacuation of civilians from the russian-occupied city of Oleshky is supposed to begin.
Moscow has created a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, and today, there will be no independent third-party observers, such as the UN, and no free press. Only a handful of journalists, escorted and controlled by russians throughout their visit to the city, will be allowed access.
Civilians will not be permitted to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory. Instead, they will be forcibly taken to russia or occupied Crimea. What happens next to these 2,000 people, including 47 children, remains unknown.
Today, we may witness not an evacuation, but a forced deportation. All eyes on Oleshky.

Russia has just murdered at least 13 people as they waited on a train platform, targeting the group with a jet drone in the city of Dnipro.
Open genocide, now backed by the White House and the owner of this platform.

💔 THIS IS MY TRAIN. A ROUTE I TRAVEL REGULARLY. AND TODAY, RUSSIA HAS KILLED PEOPLE AGAIN.
Today, October 29, a Russian jet-powered drone struck the railway station in Dnipro.
The strike hit a platform where passenger train No. 866, travelling from Dnipro to Zaporizhzhia, was located.
According to preliminary reports, 13 people were killed and at least five others were injured.
And I’m looking at this news, realising: this is my route. One I travel regularly.
I was even considering taking the train from Zaporizhzhia back to Kyiv. But every time, I’m afraid.
Afraid because Russia keeps attacking our railways.
Because travelling from Zaporizhzhia through Dnipro towards Kryvyi Rih, a journey I know so well, no longer feels like an ordinary trip.
Because today you’re reading about passengers who were killed, and tomorrow you could be one of them.
And the most horrifying thing is that these people simply wanted to get somewhere.
Home. To their families. To work. To take care of everyday things.
They weren’t heading to the front line. They weren’t taking part in combat.
They were simply waiting for their train.
AND RUSSIA KILLED THEM.
I’m exhausted by the fact that every journey across Ukraine has become a question of survival.
Exhausted by wondering whether I’ll make it to my destination alive.
Whether I’ll have to run out of a train again during an attack.
Whether standing on a railway platform will be safe.
But what hurts the most is thinking about those who will never reach their destinations today.
About their families, who were waiting for a message saying, “I’ve arrived,” but may instead receive the most devastating news of their lives.
We must never become accustomed to this.
The world must never become accustomed to Russian drones killing civilians at Ukrainian railway stations.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SIMPLY BOARD A TRAIN AND ARRIVE ALIVE.
May the victims rest in peace. 💔

Putin praised Elon Musk and called him one of his "American" partners, this come after weeks of Musk antagonizing Ukraine and throttling their air defence.
"Elon Musk is genius, a real genius." "We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk."

❗️Die aktuelle Waffenruhe in Oleschky und Cherson, die Unterbrechung des Sterbens und die Evakuierung von Zivilisten ist der Beweis: Russland könnte diesen Krieg jederzeit beenden.
➡️Russland könnte 20 % der Ukraine illegal behalten, und die Ukraine würde trotzdem nicht zurückschießen. Putin und seine Bande allein sind verantwortlich dafür, dass jeden Tag hunderte sterben.
➡️Oleschky und Cherson beweisen: Ein Waffenstillstand entlang der gesamten Front, ein Ende der Kämpfe und ein Ende des Leids für Millionen Zivilisten wären noch heute möglich, wenn der Kreml zustimmen würde.
➡️Nicht die EU will hier morgen wieder Krieg führen, nicht deutsche Rüstungsunternehmen und ganz sicher nicht die Ukraine. Russland allein will auch morgen wieder in Cherson ukrainische Soldaten und Zivilisten ermorden und weitere Teile der Ukraine erobern.

WSJ: Trump’s deal with Putin has not lowered diesel prices in the US
Since the deal was announced, the average price of a gallon of diesel in the US has risen from $6.28 to $6.35, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).
Analysts doubt that supplies from Russia will significantly reduce prices.
Russia may fail to meet its promised supply volumes due to problems at oil refineries and export restrictions.
Zelensky says Ukraine will not attack ships carrying Russian diesel bound for the US
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not received an order to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Zelensky noted that Ukrainian forces had acted more cautiously in recent days but continued to attack Russian targets, including the Ryazan oil refinery.
Earlier, Zelensky had proposed halting strikes on Russian oil refineries in exchange for Russia stopping its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

No surprise, Russia has been helping Iran and the Houthis destroy the Saudi oil industry.
All those billions in bribes the Saudis paid to Kushner/Trump family, and White House ends up siding with Russia to bring oil prices to $300/barrel.
Meanwhile, Trump attacks Ukraine for hitting Russian refineries.
