The War in Ukraine

[Czech_pivo]

Another night, another hit on a Russian oil refinery, this time in Kirishi near St Petersburg. Heavy producer of gasoline and lighter motor oils, is Wikipedia’s correct.

Doesn’t really look like Russia’s very capable of defending any of its oil refineries within 1000km of Ukraine. I expect Ukraine is really trying to get to the point where the civilian population of the major cities in western Russia are feeling the pinch in terms of fuel shortages, to say nothing of hurting Russian exports and the foreign capital they bring.

I’m sure that if the Russians pull AD from elsewhere in Russia to protect said refineries in the current 1k km kill zone that Ukraine will pivot to something else and squeeze the Russians there.
It’s almost as if the Ukrainians might be getting ‘ideas’ from others on how to make the Russians hurt deeply quickly in order to influence the current media situation.
