The price of gasoline in Ukraine continues to rise.

Today, A-95 costs 72 UAH per liter ($6.25 per gallon), although it was still around 63 UAH yesterday.

Gasoline in Ukraine is now priced roughly the same as in Europe, and is more expensive than in the USA.

The war with Iran is not only interfering with the transport of fuel, it has also weakened the Ukrainian currency.

Also, am I the only one who wants to call their currency the "hernia" every time I read it? (Hryvnia)

Ouch.

Brent Crude quickly jumped to $80 per barrel on Monday, but then it receded for a bit before jumping to $84 Tuesday.

I wish I had a barell that I could have filled over the weekend.

Trump is ready to support groups in Iran, including Kurds, who are willing to take up arms to overthrow the regime in Tehran, US officials told The Wall Street Journal.

Also, the US president held talks with leaders of Iraqi Kurdistan, who, as we have already written, are actually the only force in the region capable of launching ground military operations against Iran.

"According to US officials, President Trump is ready to support groups in Iran willing to take up arms to overthrow the regime, and this idea could turn Iranian groups into ground forces, at least at a rhetorical level, enjoying Washington's support. President Trump held talks with many regional partners. With the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (the actual leader of Iraqi Kurdistan - Ed.) Masoud Barzani and the President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Barham Salih. A source familiar with the discussions described the talks as 'delicate'. A final decision on providing weapons or intelligence support has not yet been made," the publication writes.

It should be noted that Trump's rhetoric has changed significantly since yesterday evening. If earlier he stated that "Tehran wants negotiations" and indicated that he was ready to engage in them, now he says that there will be no negotiations and announces the arming of opponents of the Iranian government, as well as the possibility of a ground operation.

The EU is intensifying pressure on Kyiv over the "Friendship" oil pipeline and demanding an inspection of the damaged pipeline, according to The Financial Times.

According to the publication, Budapest and Bratislava accuse Kyiv of delaying the restoration after the January strike and claim that Ukraine is exaggerating the scale of the damage.

One of the senior EU diplomats said that Ukraine "scored an own goal", giving Hungary a reason to block funding.


Currently, Hungary is holding up a $90 billion aid package to Ukraine, which itself will only be a skeleton budget for the Ukrainians over the next two years.

We're also about to see a scramble for hydrocarbons due to the conflict between Iran and the US/Israel.

Qatar launched an attack on Iran and repelled an attack on an airport in its own capital, reported the Israeli TV channel N12, citing "western sources".

The Qatari Foreign Ministry has already refuted this.

"We did not participate in the attacks on Iran," Doha stated.

The Deputy Head of the Pentagon, Elbridge Colby, was unable to unequivocally answer whether Iran's missile program posed a real threat to US territory.

"I leave it to my colleagues from the US intelligence community to answer detailed questions of this kind," Colby said at a Senate hearing when asked about this.

During the discussion with Colby, Senator Mark Kelly noted that Trump had previously called Iran's nuclear program completely destroyed, and reminded about the lack of data on Tehran's possession of missiles capable of reaching the US.

"I mean the overall threat from Iranian ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as kamikaze drones, which we are seeing in action right now," Colby said in response to Kelly's clarifying question about whether Washington believed that Iran was close to obtaining ballistic missiles capable of threatening the US.

Maria Zakharova ironically offered her services to Finnish intelligence, citing media reports that the organization is "looking for agents with knowledge of Russian or Chinese languages":

"Maybe I should sign up, what do you think? I know Chinese, I love Russian, and my illegal status is secured by EU sanctions."

The main statements of Trump at the meeting with Merz:

Iran lost its Navy, Air Force, and control over the airspace;

Israel did not force the US to launch an operation against Iran. Perhaps I forced them to act, Trump noted;

Iran could have been led by some moderate figure popular in the Islamic Republic;

The US is not satisfied with the UK's approaches to defense and operations against Iran;

The United States will continue to use military bases in Spain for operations against Iran if necessary, despite Madrid's discontent;

The US intends to sever all trade relations with Spain after its refusal to increase military spending to 5% of GDP.

Is there anyone who takes this seriously?

The Website tracks spending on military actions against Iran since 2024. Additionally, you can see that, since February 28th, the USA has spent $900 million dollars per day on hostilities. You can also see how many alternate social programs the US could have funded with the money being spent attacking Iran just in the time you've been viewing the site.

Remember, this doesn't even include damages to infrastructure or knock-on economic effects from rising oil prices, etc.
