Thats embarrassing and insulting to ask Ukraine that
It's just the US relieving themselves of responsibility
"Oooohhhh nooo, don't do thaaaat"
Insane that they care more about Russians losing power than Ukrainians losing their lives.
sure!
Don't start a fight that you can't handle
@@suryanshsagar2677 s fight isn't a war. Babies don't die in a fight. Like the ones Putin and his gay lovers are killing
USA also said to give up on nukes
AND Russia said that too, not just US. They both promised security.
One side lies...
USA is a sad nation ❤❤❤❤❤
@@Scorch428 LoL, both lied!
The Nukes were always controlled from Moscow, it was never Ukraine's to keep.
@@Scorch428 Giving up nukes was a condition for Ukraine getting independence. Those nukes were made in Russia and they took them back.
Cutting aid to Ukraine when it’s on its knees and then having the audacity to drop this one.
Crazy. Help them!
Are you kidding now?
yea I'm kidding most of the time 💀
Did the US tell Russia the same thing! WTF!
Nonsense!! No country had the right to tell Ukraine what they can target or not. You want Ukraine to win, then every military base and energy infrastructure inside Russia is a legitimate target!!
What if the missiles is not given to Ukrain
@@francisegwu9083 😂 ask the old clown again
Are you sleeping ? Ukraine has neither soldiers nor weapons nor ammonition. Everything they have comes from abroad - including their instructions what they have to do or not to do! And that for at least 10 years back until now
West cant trust Ukraine, last time they hit Poland with western missiles lol
Country can't tell other what to do, but unless that country relies completely on others
Ukraine would had been written off the map by now if America didn't stepped in, be grateful
What nonsense is that? Do they think that will stop Russia from doing it again? Nonsense!
The last time the Ukrainians ignored the advice of the Americans, their much hyped counteroffensive failed and they lost over 100,000 combat forces in a single swoop.
They're welcome to try again.
That's because they know the outcome of it
US needs to stop telling others what to do and focus on itself...
Well the are financing it, so they have a say in it
Agree. no more aid to Gaza, no more assistance to Europe, no more trade with china.....no excuses or conditions(?)
@@Kingston7591 You think the US is in the business of Charity ?
Exactly. Quit sending this country money.
Well they will, and they will also stop sending their people's money.
The position of the US is becoming more and more dubious. On whose side are they actually?
Money. They take billion’s in taxes, donate it to Ukraine, stipulate they must buy our weapons and our government heads and oligarchs collect the money. Corruption.
At the end of the day.. Their own and ONLY their own.
On their own and only side, standing against everybody else, especially 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺🇨🇳 and everybody else who can be corrupted with weapons sales, destabilized and robbed?
That’s easy to answer: on the side of the highest bidder.
This is just speculation, but if Russias oil refineries are down, itll make them sell less refined oil products. This makes the prices for oil products on the international market increase. Which makes the prices in USA rise aswell and it could lead to Biden losing the election.
This has probably been explained to Ukraine aswell, and they might just say "mind your own business" to the USA in public and do as USA recommends in order not to get Trump
What is the name of the American official that called on Ukraine not to hit Russian energy infrastructure? I´ve looked and looked, and I can find no one in the current Administration who will say that out loud. Is it real?
The Ukrainian ambassador in the interview did not deny it...
@@eddastrohmayer251 one of Zelensky advisors publicly denied they were asked that
@@nolongerblocked6210 what should an advisor of Zelensky sayed else ? It's his job to keep up morality of War!
Media crops.
The original article was in the Financial Times yesterday, it only mentions "one person from the NSC" as the source.
Who exactly is the person who "called for Ukraine to stop the attacks"? DW seems to have changed its retoric lately. Give us the name, please.
As a German I am disgusted by the DW head lines.
It appears to be disinformation and since the general populous doesn't have the scruples to look things up on their own, the disinformation works. Now people are talking about the US as a bad guy instead of focusing on Russia.
The Ukrainian ambasssador is 100% correct? So much talk during the two years and now becoming lukewarm and wishy washy. How can anyone trust the US? I hope Europe doesn't ever need the US help and can guarantee their own responsibilities with their own creativity.
If russia is in all out war with Ukraine why is Russia targetting Ukrainian power infra only now ?
Shouldnt it be the first target two years back ?
@@offred6013 Only a Russian can ask those questions. I think if you could you would. Only now due lack of Ukrainian defense you can. But this will change again Ivan.
@@reddix435Russia also has air defence . But that has not stopped Ukraine from trying. Russia has been raining missiles on Ukraine.
There have been multiple waves of missile/ drone attacks in Ukrainian air space.
Its bizzare that largest dam has been left untouched for 2+ years .
@@reddix435 who is ivan ?
Ur stepfather ?
The US has lost every single war since WW2. Why would you think strength of weaponry translates to strength of fortitude.
I hate how weak we have become
Another oilfield was attacked in the hours that followed the American request to stop so I think they’re disregarding it. Nothing to lose, America can’t take away aid they already aren’t sending.
The west ( specially the Anglo Saxon alliance)has always been weak.
The only thing that has changed is you can no longer support your delusional cognitive biased.
Yes compared to defenseless countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yes it’s embarrassing
You can show strength by going to Ukraine and joining their volunteer forces, let's see how tough you really are. 🤡
Never become a puppet of another country.
Never become a puppet of ruzzia.

the US can't tell ukraine what to do. ukraine is fighting for it's existence. hindsight is always 20/20, ukraine should never have given up it's nukes. not with a next door neighbor like russia. big mistake, huh?
who in the Usa even said this specifically?
Ukraine denies that they were told what to do. You're right about the nukes though.
White house order came literaly from Biden!@@sanisidrocr
Ukraine should of stayed NEUTRAL
@@CUACHA_KILLA then russia shouldn't have nukes either if you want to go down that road. and the UN seat russia occupies is the soviet union's seat. not russia's
Let Venezuela sell oil, largest reserve in the world.
no one is stopping them. they just didn't maintain their equipment.
Sanctions did as well as other factors. Russia will have a hard time getting production back up with the support.
@@jsphfalcon US sanctions leveled at them from the George W. Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden administrations are the reason their oil reserves haven't been fully exploited to US advantage.
They do. Also US sanctions on their oil and gas were eased in 2022 and then lifted last year, precisely because of the energy crisis at the time. So even western countries were (are) buying from them.
@@delos2279what happened to Juan guaido? Is he the one in charge?
The message over the last 2 years is: don't give up your nukes or build your own because when hard times come you're on your own
Shame on America. It withhold help and now ask Ukraine not to hit Russia where it hurts.
That's normal way of Americans handling Foreign politics. Just a big Business for the military-industrial complex, nothing else. They are more interested now in Israel and Taiwan ...
One of Zelensky's main advisors publicly said they were never asked that
No diesel, no war
Why not !? Russia does it in Ukraine.
Ukraine denied the US asked them to stop.
Source?! 🤡
The Ukrainian ambassador in this interview did Not Deny that US asked them to stop!
@@eddastrohmayer251 According to the advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak stated there was no such request.

Which official US and Ukrainian sources confirm these requests?
The Ukrainian ambassador in the interview did not deny it...
@@eddastrohmayer251You didn't answer the question. Sounds like an unsubstantiated rumor.
@@billyboyer3 I am not an insider, but if it is not true the Ukrainian ambassador would have been the first to say that. That's clear !
@@eddastrohmayer251 That does not logically follow. The ambassador in this video may not know whether it's true or not. The source of the rumor appears to be an article in the NY Financial Yimes, who does not list a source. But another article reports that Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the office of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the government has NOT received calls from the United States asking Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.
I am gradually getting a clear picture of who is creating all the problems in the world.
what's the sense of the US suggesting that?
“Ukrainians are dyin.g Everyday as a nation. We want the war to End as soon as possible. We have No more strength left; neither physical nor mental.” - Olena Oleksandriya, an Elderly Ukrainian resident in the Port City of Odessa
Then she should talk to putler. The one who started this nonsense.
Ironically, the mayor of Odesa is a russian citizen. It can't get any more bizarre.
We Tha People; Stand with Ukraine💙💛
Good for you. We THE People, stand with the U.S. and Americans, not a foreign corrupt country that you only know about because the military industrial complex wants you to.
Too little too late by Russia.
I believe the US we have no room to tell them anything about infrastructure, and what to attack and what not to attack when we won’t even honor our word and commitment I’m a shame as an American
Most of the American economy is supported by petrodollars. Here is a simple and clear answer. absolutely any conclusions you draw based on this fact will be correct. with the exception of all sorts of alternative versions like aliens from Nibiru and other nonsense. In order for their money to be safe, they are ready to sell not only their ideals... but also their own mother.
I do not believe US would ask that.
I agree the usa knows power facilities are prime targets and always has been

Is the title wrong? Should it read "US calls for Russia not to hit Ukraine energy infrastructure"?
But then, Ukraine is targeting refineries, so I don't quite understand.
What? Thats nuts. Who made that call ? Specifically..
US needs to let Ukraine do what is necessary against Ruzzia instead of trying to tie their hands.
Very embarrasing, especially from the country with the big empty promises, contolled by some evangelical freak!
back to the dark age for russia
you meant Ukraine not Russia
Yes, however the USA is no longer providing Ukraine with arms or humanitarian aid.
theres like 30 countries that give supplies to Ukraine
Hey fair point lol.
If the US says to Ukraine in the media to not target Russian infrastructure it means that the US is behind planning to attack the same!
thats misinformation, the us has provided $75 billion worth of aid so far and will continue to do so .
the us has not stopped assisting Ukraine, thats just wrong.
thats not what Ukraine says. Ukraine says US is most important supporter
Well according to the advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak, the United States didn't request a halt on strikes on Russian infrastructure. This doesn't even take into consideration that this video doesn't provide any sources as to who in the White House called for Ukraine to stop, only speculation that it MIGHT not be good for the US because it MAY influence gas prices which might effect the elections.
The Ukrainian ambassador in the interview did not deny it...
Give me a freaking break. The US / CIA is deeply involved in this action
Americans everywhere and everytime feel free to step in and out as they like. Nothing new at all ! That's Business !
Exactly, they want to pretend so that later they would be able to exonerate themselves
Taiwan must pick a lesson from the fear shown by US not to anger Putin in his special operation against Ukraine. Ukraine would be very strong in fighting the second largest superpower if it did not have its hands tied by US and Germany not to annoy Putin.
Ukraine is the outskirts of Russia and don't stick your nose in other people's business
Ukraine does not have neither soldiers nor ammonition. They are totally helpless without the west. So it''s very silly of them to try to even escalate the war !
With what would Ukraine 'fight while not having its hands tied'?
With What?
So you think "annoy Putin" is child's play?
"annoy" ANY nuclear State, and you run the risk of citizens of such a state getting mad enough to start launching their nukes.
You can bet that there are MANY Russians who would have long ago made their nukes fly to, say, Warsaw, berlin, paris, london, washington!
IF Ukraine had the ammo they ask for from US, they might listen to advise from US
With friends like the US who needs enemies ?
Whose side is usa on?
Usa give thatv320 billion aid...
Probably more and more on the side of peace ...
@@eddastrohmayer251 Peace under ruzzian boots?

What do you think he will say? Why don't you ask the other side?
this is nothing more than pure POLITICS!
Genocide often is.
That's just ridiculous.
That's utter shocking BS. You have the audacity to tell Ukraine that when you have cut military aid.
What’s oil got to do with nato countries and the rest of Ukraine supporters,we aren’t supposed to be using Russian oil or products
You're talking as if they can obey their own sanctions but no they can't
Ukrainians should never take a side neither Russia nor EU, they could have been much prosper and successful nation if they never chosen to be the part of any side but keeping business and state relations with both sides to exist as an in dependent state 😣😣🤔🤔
Russia didn't want them to be independent.
Oh look, the news anchor that called a 2M pop city in Brazil a 'village', likely out of prejudice.
How did the brits stop rommel in the desert in ww2?
Always the innocent suffering in war😢
7:44 Be honest with us!
Why should ukraine stop? what are you supposed to do when rockets and drones rain upon you? say thank you? give ukraine the ability to strike as much as russia does... i want to see all the people calling stop to be in this kind of situation.. just imagine your neighbourhood getting bombarded.. what do u do? just accept it?
Are we going to see soon Biden and Blinken hugging and kissing Putin and Sinwar?
No!!!!!
“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.” - Thomas Aquinas
Think its pretty cheeky for the US to ask Ukraine to stop targeting Russia's oil infrastructure when Russia has been Ukraine's electrical infrastructure for the last two years, Russian oil is a fair target.
An eye for an eye!!!
That is an absurd request.
“Airdrops are inefficient and dangerous as everyone knows, but the US is doing this because it cannot persuade Israel to allow aid into Gaza by land and in trucks. It is the ultimate sign of weakness and shows the US is unwilling to stand up to Israel.” - Chris Doyle, the director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding
Was this factchecked ?
Ha no help US asking for Ukraine to stop attacks maybe they should be telling Russia this. US also a country that signed the Budapest memorandum.
Russia was told to get out of Ukraine, but they did not. They can not complain about Ukraine fighting back. The Ukrainian ambassador is absolutely right in my opinion.
The Russians should understand they can never win this war. Just think about it; even if they would 'win', fighting would continue. Example is the Afghanistan war with Russia and later America fighting the Taliban.
This is all just Putins big miscalculation or perhaps just a crazy way to cling to power. The recent IS attack again shows how incredibly weak Russia is.
🎯🎯💯 totally agree!!
An indirect suggestion. No doubt.

Not attack Russian refineries ??? - So, it's no longer solely a Russian purview, now the US is also using "veranyo" ! What a hoot, very Pythonesque ! Best joke I've heard for ages !
One strike out of 12 refinery.
“Instead of dropping packages from the sky - some of which end up in the sea or outside of Gaza and which the most vulnerable cannot reach in any case - the US, the UK and others should ensure that Israel immediately opens all crossings into Gaza for aid and aid workers to assist those in need. This includes the Karni and Erez crossings, which give direct access to the north of Gaza. Only safe and unfettered access for aid and aid workers, the lifting of the siege and an immediate ceasefire can end starvation in Gaza.” - Melanie Ward, the chief executive of Medical Aid for Palestinians
i hate seeing old folks cry.
I think the US must know something we don't know because this request is nuts
“I will give you very unusual examples. There is a combat encounter on the battlefield. Here is a specific example: Ukrainian soldiers got encircled [this is an example from Real Life), our soldiers were shouting to them: “There is no chance! Surrender yourselves! Come out and you will be alive!” Suddenly, the Ukrainian soldiers were screaming from there in Russian, perfect Russian, saying: “Russians do not surrender!” And all of them perished. They [the Encircled Ukrainian soldiers] still identify themselves as Russian.” - Vladimir Putin
My God the rest of the world needs to stand up & be counted 😢 this is ridiculous. Take out Putin
Which rest of the world are we talking about?
Great interview responses!
Audacious. Imagine EU telling them what targets are acceptable and what not after 9/11.
god forbid the US have any inconvenience........
IT goes to show, SUCH insulting n trying to tie Ukraine's hand behind her back and force to defend Ukraine their homeland, oh my my speechless such shallow minded to even suggest, mothscbsob-N-case closed indeed.
You draw your own RED LINE FULL STOP
Face it Ukraine. You lost. Time to negotiate a settlement
The Ukrainian ambassador Olexsander said “their chances of winning is lower”3:56
Which means Russia have a higher chance of winning. Quite different from what the west is saying.
“The fighting is being done by the Ukrainians [more than 500 thousand Ukrainian soldiers lost their precious Lives in a Proxy war Against Russia on Behalf of US, EU, and Nato], they are the people who are being killed. The US and Europe are supplying them weapons.” - Zanny Minton Beddoes, the Economist’s Editor-in-chief
With all the bureaucracy in Washington, I wouldn't hold my breath.
DW what about you reputation? putin pay you ,,,,,,,,i try to be polite
Where is Zelenski? I hope he’s drafting a peace deal?
keep going Ukraine, ignore US call
Too weak not good.
Why?!
Well, Kissinger said :
it is dangerous to be Us enemy, but us fatal to be Us friends.
“Actions are needed. Words matter but Actions are needed in order to save Ukraine, and actually in order to save an entire civilization, mainly the Western civilization; the Free World. We have to frame this war [Russia-Ukraine war] in that context. This war is Not just a war between Ukraine and Russia. This is the war that criminal Putin waged against Nato; the Western civilization, and actually against Humanity.” - Arseniy Yatsenyuk, former PM of Ukraine
There are 38 Russian nuclear power plants all within range.
That only means they have asked them to do the opposite
Writing words has become an exercise in double speak as we are more and more forced to replace the clear with the nebulous. Here we realise that to call a thing by its name is not allowed and we end up sounding ridiculous like this.
Am I reading the title correctly?
Stop forcing me to pay higher prices for everything now.....Inflation keeps going up because of higher gas prices ...
Putin has always been concerned about the lives of the innocent Ukrainian people that's why this war has taken so long.
As they use to say : "America First" $$$ . Maybe Germany comes secound,
because from start, they don't want Ukraine to win.
Theyve remove sophisticated tech in Abrahms they give on Ukraine that is why Abrahms became easy picked for Russians.
It's not true...
Rediculous for the US to suggest it. I say being it on more
“Why are the Ukrainian authorities dismantling the Ukrainian Orthodox Church?
