Ukraine changed its war strategy against Russia and opened a second front. Currently, hostilities are taking place directly on the contact line, as well as on the territory of the Russian Federation.
This completely changes the rules of the game and causes more harm to the occupiers. The Spectator writes about this.
It is noted that the attack on the oil and gas refinery and oil export terminal in Ust-Luga near St. Petersburg seriously undermined Russia’s ability to produce and export fuel.
“In fact, these Ukrainian-made drones were more successful in imposing sanctions against Russian hydrocarbon trade than all the Western attempts to limit prices and embargo Russian exports,” the publication writes.
At the same time, about 40% of the Russian economy works for the war. Most of these costs are covered by the sale of oil and gas, making Russian infrastructure an ideal target for Ukrainian drones.
Journalists write that pumping stations, LNG terminals and oil refineries are convenient to fill with a flammable product , since they are huge industrial facilities.
“Russia has one structural vulnerability that Ukraine does not: its vast territory and dispersed infrastructure make it impossible to protect every pipeline, plant and bridge,” they note.
In addition, as noted, with drones and long-range missiles, Ukraine could make this war “too expensive and painful for Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin to continue.” And in the future, this may become a method of deterrence, so that the occupiers think several times before starting a new war.
Let us remind you that on January 24, a series of explosions were heard in the Russian city of Tuapse in the Krasnodar Territory. After them, a powerful fire broke out at a local oil refinery that is part of the Rosneft oil company.
Earlier it was reported that the attack on the sea terminal in Ust-Luga, Leningrad region, was carried out as part of a special operation by the SBU. The defeat of the oil terminal, which supplied fuel, including to the Russian army, will complicate its logistics for the invaders.
As OBOZ.UA reported, on the night of January 24 there was a drone attack on Oryol in Russia. As a result of the raid, several houses were damaged in the Northern and Zheleznodorozhny districts of the city.

“In fact, these Ukrainian-made drones were more successful in imposing sanctions against Russian hydrocarbon trade than all the Western attempts to limit prices and embargo Russian exports,”
Lol! I basically said this already. But, it’s true! No sanctions have worked the way they were supposed to, and this includes sanctions on mafia land’s fossil fuel sector. Now, Ukraine is doing something about it, and this quite effectively.
The US could open the oil taps and flood the world with oil. No need to involve congress or the senate. This action alone could destroy the russian economy.
As a matter of fact, we are currently producing more oil than even when the orange monkey was president.
That’s good. Maybe that’s why Ukraine are now attacking these oil terminals on a regular basis. I have a feeling that the West were holding Ukraine back from attacking these refineries in fear of escalating prices.
That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Not going to happen. The Greenies are forcing Joe Bidenov to cancel the federal LNG projects. Who would have thought the Greenies would end up supporting one of the most polluting nations on earth? Just goes to show it is not about environmentalism it is about socialism and destroying the USA. If they really cared about the environment they would focus on russia, China and India.
