Another quiet day at home. Breakfast was hard-boiled eggs, ham, sausage, white sausage, bread, butter, and coffee. It didn't take long to prepare which was a good thing because I didn't really feel like making breakfast. I considered smoothies but felt it was a bit inappropriate for today.
In the afternoon, we started watching a new series on Netflix called Ripple. It's a series about 5 different lives and how they all fit together in the story. I recommend it for it's lack of violence.
ViaYouTube, we also visited the country of Macedonia in the evening.
Meanwhile, Ukraine.
The head of the President’s Office, Kyrylo Budanov, confirmed that international partners have requested Ukraine suspend its airstrikes on Russian oil refineries due to rising global energy prices triggered by the war in the Middle East, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, April 5.
Budanov revealed that Kyiv has been approached regarding the regular drone attacks, though he did not disclose which specific allies issued the plea. “I will answer this diplomatically: we are receiving some signals regarding this,” he said.
The request comes as the US-Israeli conflict with Iran enters a critical phase, causing a major disruption in global oil supplies. These geopolitical factors have significantly bolstered the Kremlin’s war budget through increased oil revenues, a development President Volodymyr Zelensky previously identified as a key challenge to Ukraine’s strategy of weakening Moscow’s economic capacity to sustain the invasion.
Despite the diplomatic pressure, Budanov expressed optimism that the conflict in the Middle East would conclude relatively soon. His comments follow a series of successful Ukrainian drone strikes on Saturday night and Sunday morning, which targeted the Lukoil refinery in Kstovo and the Primorsk oil terminal on theBaltic Sea.
