Russia's war effort is under growing pressure, with mounting military losses, relentless Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, and attacks damaging nearly 43% of Russia's refining capacity
The U.S. and EU are preparing tougher sanctions, targeting Russia's oil exports, shadow fleet, and major buyers such as China and India, with tariffs and stricter enforcement aimed at squeezing Moscow's energy revenues.

iran can't do shit, at worst they can fire a few missiles with questionable efficiency. What are they going to do, start supplying r*ssia?

That's what the trump cultists used to say about Iran. Do you think Ukrainians ports and other economical targets are more protected than American bases ?

Actually, yes they are due to them being far more ready, second distance matters a lot, third iran supports r*ssia with weapons and resources.

All facts shows that the war on iran is harming ukraine and helping russia. Use your goddamn mind. Thankfully after talks between iran and ukraine both side understood that escalation is bad.

I understand that they are an enemy, everything else is pretty words, iran backed down when their ships that supplied r*ssia were hit. Good for them.

You are so dumb. Defense systems that Ukraine need was sent to protect Israel because of the war, russia got sanctions relief because of the war. You claim to support ukraine while supporting actions that help russia, poor guy

You don't get it, do you? iran is the source of r*ssian terror attacks by shahed drones. They've made them and sold to m*scovia the whole production process. They were a real problem at the start, people literally feared the sound of scooters for the first year or so. Because there were no effective answer to them. So yes, iran fucked off and good for them, all hate to iran and their backwards cuntry.
