On the night of September 20, Ukrainian drones struck a number of oil pumping stations of the Kuibyshev-Tikhoretsk oil pipeline involved in oil exports through the port of Novorossiysk (Russia). The operation was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

OBOZ.UA was informed about this by its own sources. The interlocutors stated that the attack by Ukrainian long-range UAVs stopped the operation of the stations and the pumping of oil.

What objects were introduced to “Ukrainian Sanctions”:

– “Zenzevatka” station (Zenzevatka village, Volgograd region of Russia);

– station “Sovkhoznaya-2” (Progress settlement, Samara region);

– linear production control station “Samara” (Prosvet settlement, Samara region).

“The SBU continues its successful work on introducing drone sanctions against Russian refineries and oil pumping stations. It is this infrastructure that brings petrodollar surpluses to the Russian budget, which fuel the war against Ukraine,” our publication’s source noted.

It hinted that new explosions would occur on enemy territory. “Work to block these money flows will continue,” the source noted.

As OBOZ.UA wrote, earlier the General Staff announced the destruction of strategic objects of the aggressor. Units of the Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces under the general leadership of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the night of September 20, struck the Saratov and Novokuybyshevsk oil refineries .
