-10% of Russia's oil refining capacity in 3 days
This is how the so-called "energy truce" came to an end.
Ukraine made concessions and refrained from striking Russian oil refineries for two full weeks at the request of the US presidential administration.
Russia, however, did not stop its terror. Russian Shahed drones and missiles continued to kill Ukrainians, leaving them without electricity, water, and heating.
Ukraine has once again demonstrated its willingness to pursue peace. Russia has demonstrated its unwillingness to end its terror.
The combined annual processing capacity of the three targeted refineries — Kstovo, Novokuybyshevsk, and Bashneft-Novoil — amounts to approximately 33 million tonnes of crude oil, equivalent to 10% of Russia's total oil refining capacity.
The attacks are large-scale, with multiple processing units being knocked out in a single strike, including both primary and secondary oil refining facilities.
Things will only get worse for Russia from here. Breathe deeply.
