Ukraine’s strategy, targeting critical infrastructure like the Druzhba pipeline and Blue Stream, was Russia’s vulnerability, pushing the nation towards an unprecedented economic crisis, said Kremlin mouthpiece Maksim Kalashnikov.

Russia is teetering on the edge of economic collapse as a result of systematic Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, a Russian propagandist has warned. Meanwhile, the leader of the puppet regime installed by Vladimir Putin in Crimea has said fuel can no longer be sold in quantities of more than 30 litres per person as ordinary people feel the pinch.

In a video clip posted on X, Maksim Kalashnikov, a propagandist, admitted the attacks are no longer sporadic but a systematic campaign aimed at shattering Russia‘s economy. He said: “The war is now waged not for the complete destruction of the Russian Federation, of course, but its collapse,” highlighting a 17% disruption in refining capacity. The fuel crisis was deepening, with the voices of those advocating rationed consumption growing louder, Kalashnikov explained.

  1. Ukraine must destroy more refineries before the collapse of mafia land is made possible. I hope to see more strikes very soon.

  2. Go after more oil refineries and thermal power plants. Give the bastards a taste of the medicine they wanted to give Ukraine. Freeze them by their millions.
