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.

        Some of the methods this might have been used in may have had some steps involved to reduce pollutants. The overall c02 though would be the same.

      No, they don’t. Ukraine is about to get kicked out from Kursk and lose the little leverage they had in the negotiations.

              Because many people in Crimea and in the eastern regions actually want to be under Russian influence.

                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.

                I don’t know if you buy this, but Ukraine says it’s part of the plan. That sounds like what Russia says. If you don’t believe them, why do you believe what Russia says?

    Waiting for Putin to claim Ukraine is crossing the line doing this. While he is perfectly OK with bombing Ukrainian Nuclear power plants and dams. Things that are actually clearly war crimes.

    It’s so cool that Ukraine has found a way to strike back, and they do it within international law!!

    Fuck you Russia and fuck you Putin.
    Your days are numbered!

        Why do you think they aren’t? It’s not like revolution is unheard of there. Do you have any real reason, or just faith. I don’t really think believing in things makes it true, or the world would be a much different place.

            Why do you think that? Again, belief is useless. Do you have actual reasoning?
