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.

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

        Do you think invading a sovereign country is ok? What are your thoughts on bombing childrens’ hospitals?

          No, of course not, but I’m not the one making the rules.

          The Ukrainians are leaving on their own? Why are they leaving?

            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.

              American support and intelligence has only been paused for one week and has resumed since.

          They only withdrew because US stopped intelligence sharing. Unlike Pootang the Tinyman, President Z wants his soldiers to survive.

          That’s right, Ukrainians wanted to use Kursk to trade against something else during the negotiations; soon they might not be able to do that anymore.
