Meanwhile in Russian gas station queues, which now extend miles, it's getting dangerous. Putin is trying to distract from far worse problems in Russia.

That's coz the cost of everything has gone up in little britain . It's called inflation Paddy . That's the reason your GDP numbers are so high & that my dear Paddy is merely the calm before the storm .

Here , I've asked Gemini AI to explain the reasons the UK economy is in the pits. For your better understanding I've asked Gemini to explain as if it were addressing a 5 year old. You can't not understand the gravity of the situation now Paddy.

Suits us I say. The Russkies were making a killing selling us oil plus the balance of trade was skewed heavily in their favour. This way we can export refined petroleum diesel & other such products & turn the balance of trade in our favour.

That's what happens when you use AI. Russia is the one with the fuel shortage selling off record amounts of gold.

Ukraine is hitting drilling platforms too.
 
Footage shows a strike by a Russian "Geran-2" kamikaze drone and a "Molniya" drone on a Ukrainian drone operator post and UAV depot. Reconnaissance detected the movement of Ukrainian troops, prompting the strike. The drone attack caused the UAVs stored at the facility to explode. The location of the footage has not been disclosed.

 

US President Donald Trump is blaming Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries for soaring diesel prices, and has publicly told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop the attacks. US diesel prices passed $6 a gallon on Friday, roughly 63% higher than a year ago.Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian refineries over the past year, targeting a sector that supplies fuel to Russia's economy and military and produces petroleum products for export. But the refinery strikes aren't the only pressure on global energy markets. The conflict with Iran has also disrupted energy supplies and pushed up oil prices. So how much of the diesel price surge can really be blamed on Ukraine? How much is connected to the Middle East? And if Kyiv stopped attacking Russian refineries, would American drivers actually notice a difference? DW News speaks to Olga Khakova of the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Center about what's really driving the diesel shortage, and whether Trump's argument holds up.
