Summary

A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.

The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.

Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.

Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.

      It’s producing no more polution than it would otherwise have produced when used in cars and for heating, only this way the polution is confined to were the guys who pumped it out knowing how bad it was for the Environment live.

      It’s about the fairest form of polution possible.

            The loss of American support and intelligence sharing, exposed their soldiers to greater risks, so they performed a tactical withdrawal. Had it been ruzzia in that situation, they’d have just let their soldiers die, and sent more in to die also.

            How about the soviet ruzzian invasion of Afghanistan, before that? You ruzzians sure are great at losing. Maybe that’s why Drumph loves Pootang the Tiny so much :) You should stick to things you’re good at, like consuming anti-freeze vodka and wife beating, hey?

                Anybody in Crimea knows that if you say Crimea is Ukraine, you will quite soon get beaten up seriously badly. A person cannot know whether you will rat him out or not, so It does not matter what he thinks – he will absolutely say that he supports the Russia. Practically everybody in Crimea will say that they do, no matter what they think.

                And there are ways for them to get that. For instance, about 200,000 Afghans resided or immigrated to America between 2000 and 2021. What was stopping those in Crimea from doing the same? And we haven’t even addressed if that “many” is actually a majority.

                  The opposite is happening, people who want to remain under Ukrainian influence are moving to the regions still under Ukrainian control.

            Sure. Ukraine is retreating from the Kursk region, with minimal losses. Holding dirt doesn’t win wars. Meanwhile they’re making huge wins in east (not a ton of dirt, but destroying assets and soldiers), and these strikes into Russia on very strategically important assets.

                Ukrainians are withdrawing gracefully, probably due to Drumph ceasing all intelligence sharing. Had the ruzzians been in that situation, they’d have just let their soldiers die. Why aren’t YOU at the front, comrade?

                I don’t think he can have. He knows Ukraine has been losing ground in Kursk. But he also understands that this is not really relevant at this point. The Russia has not been advancing in any noticeable manner since early 2022. (Okay, in 2024 they did gain 0.7 % percent of Ukraine’s total territory in just one year, but I would not call gaining under one percent of a country’s territory advancing, really)

                It would be useful for Ukraine to remain in the Kursk area, but what can you do when all your warehouses’ and military bases’ locations in the area are suddenly known by your enemy? It’s a huge task building new ones in different places, and one cannot do so in just a couple of days.

                  Ukraine is about to be kicked out of Kursk.
