World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Seriously doubt this “russian diesel” even exists
Considering the Ukrainians have been blowing up refineries and fuel storage depos for months now, I agree with you. That diesel doesn't exist.
Also I remember reading that Russians implemented fuel rationing in some parts of the country.
I'm thinking its all a show/lie. When it doesn't show up he is to be able to tell the American people that Ukraine is driving up prices and attacking american fuel...
Oh, definitely. He's gonna use it to cut all US support to Ukraine. Which would also help Putin a lot.
The US supports Ukraine?
They still offer intelligence support I believe. Don't think they give anything else otherwise and haven't ever since Trump took power.
IIRC there was a group being trained to fly the F-16 but it was other countries offering to give them the planes so we couldn’t even be bothered to commit a 60 year old airframe
America is fighting on too many fronts, the Ukrainian coup and following militarisation was just too greedy when they also needed to secure their hegemony in their own region (hence the recent Venezuelan and Brazilian interventions, and the yap regarding Canada and Mexico). Maybe they thought it was gonna be over quickly? Miscalculation or not, the right people still got paid, I guess.
That's probably the point, now that 'US has a deal' Ukraine targetting Russian refineries is a 'no no'.
Just the latest orders down the chain from Putin.
Russia still has refineries, just because there is a shortage doesn’t mean they don’t still produce some.
A deal with Trump is a much more important policy goal for Putin, even the decreased availability for his populace can be spin as a non lethal sacrifice/weapon to “liberate Ukraine from nazism”.
AFAIK the fuel rationing only applies to gasoline, which Russia produces significantly less of
