Key Hub for the "shadow fleet": port in Primorsky attacked the drones of the SBU - sources

To spread: On the night of September 12, during the attack of drones on Primorsk in Russia, the Security Service of Ukraine struck the largest oil port of the aggressor country. It is a key hub for loading Russian oil on the vessel of the "shadow fleet" of the Russian Federation. The port "Primorsk" is located on the Baltic Sea - it ends with the Baltic Pipeline System.

The successful attack of drones on one of the ports of the port and the pumping station was engaged in fires, and this suspended the loading of oil, the source of the source in the Security Service of Ukraine reported. According to the SBU, Russia can lose up to $ 41 million a day from suspension of oil exports. Through the port of Primorsk, about 60 million tons of oil are pumped every year for $ 15 billion.

The SBU told that the affected object helps Moscow sell oil in foreign markets bypassing sanctions, and is also key to the main pipeline system, which is supplied to the port-terminal of Ust-lug. Primorsk is a key hub for loading a shadow fleet, with which the Russian Federation bypasses international sanctions and sells oil in foreign markets.

The source in the SBU noted that blows in the Russian oil industry allow to cover the flows to the budget of the Russian Federation and influence its ability to wage war against Ukraine. In addition to the port "Primorsk", special forces struck a number of oil pumping stations in Russia, including NPS-3, NPS "Andreapol" and NPS-7. We will remind, in the Russian Ministry of Defense on September 12 they stated that at night the Russian Federation was massively attacked by more than 200 drones.
