Joke of the week. Budanov enters Zelenskyy's office with a folder of intelligence data: — Mr. President, Trump signed a license to buy Russian diesel to lower US prices by a whole 1%. They promised a million tons!
— And what does the intelligence say? Where is that diesel?
Volodymyr Vasylovych smiles faintly:
— The first 300 thousand tons have already burned at the refinery in Ryazan, the second 500 thousand are waiting for our drones in Novorossiysk, and the remaining million are currently being poured into buckets by Russians by hand.
— Excellent. Tell the partners that our discount on Russian oil refining remains unchanged — 100% irrevocable detonation.
