Aren’t some countries relying on Russian oil now given the Hormuz closure?

Yep, and Russia's been making bank on that. Meaning Ukraine needs to target them even more.

Yeah. I’m sure Trump loves the hit to China more than benefit to Ukraine.

It's not a benefit to Ukraine. Russia is making more money, and therefore afford to keep the war going longer.

Yeah. More war = bad for Ukraine. Less war = good.
