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, Ukrainians are not more likely to join the war efforts, it has been pretty clearly demonstrated by the difficulties of the Ukrainian army to hire more soldiers.

    As Russia keeps advancing, it will further damage the moral of the Ukrainians. Ukraine can not win a war of attrition against Russia.

      What do you mean with this “As Russia keeps advancing”? It has not advanced since February 2022. The conversation is a bit difficult when the foundations of the conversation are so uneven. You talk about “Russia advancing”, and to my knowledge, that has not happened. Could you please elaborate?

        What do you mean it has not advanced since February 2022? That’s quite a wild statement. Just look at how many regions have been captured by Russia last year and this year alone.
