Ukraine says that a Romanian flagged tanker was hit by Russian forces
Official statement- "The bunkering vessel MILLENNIUM SPIRIT sailing under the Romanian flag was damaged by the Russian ship 12 miles to the Pivdennyi Seaport. Details are being confirmed, there is no communication with the vessel." facebook.com/CinCAFU/posts/…
I'm having some trouble tracking down the Millennium Spirit, it isn't a translation error because the Ukrainians posted the statement in english.
And I dont think it's Millennial Spirit because the two look very different.
I am quoting an official Ukrainian statement. They say (in English) it is the MILLENNIUM SPIRIT. This is the MILLENNIAL SPIRIT, they do not look similar.
and they changed the statement to say it is the "MILLENNIUM SPIRIT sailing under the Moldovan flag"

New from @hntrbrkmedia, industry experts are calling for a federal investigation into the egg market after prices and egg producer profits have soared.
Egg prices have quadrupled, but quarterly profits of the nation's largest egg producer have gone up almost 1000%.
Egg prices shattered records, hitting an eye-watering average of $8.05/dozen for regular eggs in Feb. People have battled in Costo, and NYC bodegas even began selling eggs individually amid soaring costs.
Profits at Cal-Maine Foods ($CALM), the largest U.S. egg producer, surged a staggering 948% since 2022. Insiders also authorized a massive $500M stock buyback.
Four senior members of President Trump’s entourage have secretly met with Ukrainian opposition leaders on potentially holding early elections to unseat Zelensky, per Politico.
"The official line from the U.S. administration is that Trump is not interfering in Ukraine’s domestic politics. This week, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick denied his boss was “weighing into Ukrainian politics,” adding all that Trump wants is a partner for peace."
"The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert."
Ukrainian attack drones successfully conducted one of the deepest strikes of the war tonight, hitting Russia’s Ufa Oil Refinery, over 1300 km behind the frontline.
After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.
Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.
The shutdown may have already affected USS Virginia (SSN-774), which attempted to refuel in Norway today but turned around.
(The Virginia class requires some marine diesel for its Caterpillar model 3512B V-12 auxiliary generator).
