"There are no warnings": no one can ban Ukraine attack refinery in the Russian Federation - Podolyak

According to the adviser to the head of OP Mikhail Podolyak, international law indicates that the defending party is obliged to destroy the resource potentials of the aggressor. No one can force Ukraine not to beat Russian refineries. Moreover, such attacks do not force oil prices to rise. The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak told this in an interview with Channel 24.

He commented on rumors that in the United States allegedly asked Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries, as it allegedly raising oil prices. According to him, the refining plant processes raw oil into diesel, gasoline and other products. "That is, raw oil is taken from the global market and goes to oil refineries. If it is primitive to speak, so in the global oil market is less, the price can be higher," Podolyak said.

According to him, if the refinery is destroyed, the enterprise has a lot of raw oil. It either has to preserve or sell in the global market. "That is, you increase the supply of raw oil in the global market. Increasing the supply of crude oil How does the global prices for Urals oil are affected?" - said the adviser to the head of the OP. According to him, increasing the supply of raw oil in the market is a decrease in price. Russia does not sell the gasoline that it uses to fight against Ukraine.

Podolyak stated that there could be no ban on Ukraine to attack what allows Russia to wage war. Moreover, international law indicates that the defending party is obliged to destroy the resource potentials of the aggressor. The adviser to the head of the OP stated that Ukraine wants to accelerate the end of the war. It will use any possible tools to destroy the enemy logistics.

"After two years of war, after all these terrorist attacks committed by Russia, attacking the winged, supersonic and ballistic missiles of the civilian population of Ukraine, whether we must accurately behave a little differently than today we behave in the Black Sea, with regard to refineries or other infrastructure objects Russia? We need to allow Russia to refue the TU-22 with fuel from the Saratov Refinery, because it "little" of our people killed? This is full of nonsense, "Podolyak said.

Earlier, the media reported that the strikes of Ukraine on refineries forced Russia to increase imports of Belarusian gasoline. Due to the increase in import deliveries, the cost of fuel increases, but Russia continues to buy gasoline because it considers it the most correct way to saturate the domestic market with this strategic resource. We will also remind, the media wrote that the hit of the Ukrainian drone led to a complete stop of Kuibyshevsky Refinery in the Russian Federation.
