After more than a year of speculation and unofficial commentary, two of Ukraine’s top officials have now publicly confirmed what many analysts long suspected: the United States has asked Ukraine not to strike Russian oil and energy infrastructure. The first acknowledgment came from President Volodymyr Zelensky following a large-scale Russian missile, drone, and ballistic attack on Ukraine’s energy facilities.
The US is a bit exporter now and low oil prices (well lng) will bankrupt our producers.
Or so I heard sometime after this administration started breaking shit.
You don’t want super low, but you don’t want super high like what will happen if Ukraine blows up Russian oil plants. Right now the risk is super high. Now add in Iran. No politician wants high gas prices.
