"Winning Strategy": Russia has problems with fuel due to UAV attacks on refinery

Kiev has shown the technological vulnerability of Moscow, and the strikes of Ukrainian drones in Russian oil refineries accelerate the influence of Western sanctions, as it is difficult to replace spoiled Western equipment, experts say. A number of UAV strikes in oil refining plants in the depths of Russia forced the Kremlin to spread to the protection of its own territory and war in Ukraine. But these attacks also achieved incredible - in the world's largest oil, gasoline has ended.

This is stated in Politico. It is noted that diesel fuel prices have increased sharply. For example, in the last week, diesel in the Russian Federation went up by 10%. Prices for gasoline have also reached a six -year maximum, increased by more than 20% from the beginning of the year, because supply is decreasing, and the attacked enterprises are forced to suspend production - more than 10 refineries in 9 regions of Russia have been blown.

"It's like a mosquito - when you can't find it, you can't kill it, and it continues to go back night, you will be exhausted. This is a very good way to relieve the pressure from the front line," Philip Ingrem said, an exophisher of British military intelligence and a planner NATO. Due to the inflow rates, the Kremlin reduced fuel exports to an almost historic minimum, sending just over 712,000 tons of diesel fuel and Gazoile last week, compared to over 844,000 in the same 2023 week.

In a comment to one of the Russian media this week, the analyst of the Russian National Energy Security Fund, Igor Yushkov, said that in the near future fuel prices in Russia will not decrease, and that the country may have to import gasoline from reserves stored in neighboring Belarus . Now Moscow will have to choose between maximizing the cash flow, which fills her military box, or ensuring that her soldiers and civilians can fill their tanks.

"Physical sanctions" of Ukraine can accelerate the actual. Kiev has discovered Moscow's technological vulnerability, and the strikes of Ukrainian drones in Russian oil refineries accelerate the influence of Western sanctions through which these oil refineries are already trying to replace Western equipment, spare parts and software, " - says the expert on the Russian Economy of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Despite the fact that Ukraine has received the United States of refinery on the RFF's refinery, to undermine global energy, Kiev has promised to do everything possible to undermine Russia's ability to wage war. Darkness. This strategy will be studied in the academies of officers' training in decades, "-said Philip Ingrem, a former officer of British military intelligence. Recall that in Russia, after a colate, a dozen UAV stopped operating an oil refining plant in Slavyansk-on-Cuban.
