The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com · 15h ago⚡️️️️️️️US demands Kyiv halt refinery attacks, threatens to suspend intelligence sharing. During recent talks, the Ukrainians were told that Washington would cut off intelligence sharing that has helped Kyiv identify and strike targets inside Russia, one person present told the Kyiv Independent.
According to Cloudflare Data Explorer, Russian bot traffic dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a Yandex data centre.
As the dust settles, it becomes evident the Trump-Putin deal will have a minimal impact on energy markets. Russia’s refinery production is badly damaged by Ukrainian strikes. The world burns 30 million diesel barrels per day. Russia can’t keep up. What truly matters is politics. 🧵
We have a responsibility to uphold international law. The EU is fully committed to the independence of international justice. We urge the United States to use the coming months to engage in dialogue. We will continue support the ICC and to protect its members and staff.

Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?
