A Ukrainian drone lit Novy Urengoy, 1,740 miles from the border, while Trump said Putin wants a deal.

Summary

  • Fox News reports Ukrainian drones struck Novy Urengoy in Russia's top natural-gas region on Wednesday, sparking a fire at an industrial site about 1,740 miles from Ukraine's border.
  • Yamalo-Nenets Gov. Dmitry Artyukhov said air defenses repelled the attack and falling debris caused the fire. He did not name the facility. Ukrainian maker Fire Point posted, 'Guess who covered more than 3,300 km and successfully hit the target.'
  • The strike landed as Washington renewed a push to end the more than four-year war. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, President Trump said he had just spoken with Vladimir Putin.
  • Trump said, 'He is wanting to make a deal. And if Zelenskyy is wanting to make a deal, that would be very nice.' He said the holdup is 'two people that hate each other.'

Commentary

A Pennsylvania rigger still feels diesel in a glove and knows 1,740 miles is not a border raid. He did not pay the alliance so an Arctic gas town could pretend it was out of range.

Three thousand three hundred kilometers. Debris fire. Andrews. Putin wants a deal. The honest dad already paid the lane. The map paid the distance.

Look every working father who still heats a house off a world gas price in the eye and answer this: if a drone can light the Arctic heartland, who still owns the next deal?

If a drone can light Novy Urengoy, who still owns the next deal?
u/border_dad · 5h

Wednesday. Novy Urengoy. 1,740 miles. Hold that chain.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a pad so a long shot stayed a long shot. Debris is still a hit.

u/rule_first · 4h

Artyukhov. Fire Point 3,300 km. Four-year war. Publish the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied maps still treat an Arctic gas town as a target, not a sanctuary.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Andrews. Trump-Putin call. Zelenskyy named. File the four.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next deal written, not another year of range.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A gas fire 1,740 miles in is not a skirmish. It is a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

An Arctic strike is a second front on the price of heat. The first call should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed 1,740 miles, 3,300 km, and the Andrews quote. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Keep the pressure. Keep the deal track. A gas heartland is not out of range.
