Silicon Bites #28 - Ukraine Continues to Hit Russia Refineries in A Strategy That's Worrying Moscow.

Edition No38 | 27-03-2024
Ukrainian drones “have knocked out 600,000 to 900,00 barrels” of Russia’s daily oil-refining capacity.
Industry experts estimate that Ukraine’s campaign of long-range drone strikes on Russia’s energy industry has already succeeded in knocking out between 600,000 and 900,000 barrels of Russia’s daily oil-refining capacity, Bloomberg reports.

Ukraine launched a bombing campaign against Russia’s oil and gas industry in January 2024 using domestically produced long-range drones. According to Kyiv officials, these air strikes are designed to starve the Russian invasion force inside Ukraine of fuel while also undermining the economic foundations of Vladimir Putin’s war machine. On March 1, Russia imposed a six-month ban on gasoline exports in a move widely linked to Ukraine’s drone attacks.

Since the beginning of 2024, Ukraine has successfully targeted more than a dozen Russian refineries, leading to production halts and damage to critical infrastructure. With the majority of Russia’s air defense systems currently deployed in Ukraine, the Kremlin is struggling to defend against Ukraine’s drone attacks.

Your final words cut right into me 'If we let this happen then our values will count for nothing' So true Jonathan, every time.

Ukraine should never have signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 which made Ukraine surrender its nuclear capability in exchange for protection of their territory borders the US, UK and Russia. If Ukraine had nuclear capability, Russia would not have invaded.

[ricoma]

Great report! As an American, I'm disappointed in my own country. The continued attempt of expansion by force by any country needs to be stopped by any and all means. Ukraine has the right to defend itself from an aggressive country! 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

[roypfeiffer]

YEAH WELL this Republican thinks the USA aid package oughta be $100 billion by

[golddigger]

Very grateful for your channel

Much respect from Finland to you Jonathan and to resilient British people 🇫🇮🤝🇬🇧🙏🇺🇦

[georgettelevesque]

Ukraine should never have trusted the US. And Ukraine has to defend itself in any way possible. Russia doesn’t respect any rules and Ukrainians have been more than compliant with International rules of war. Thank you for all you do for Ukraine.

[AngusAbbott-qfxm]

No one should tell Ukrainians not to fight ruZZia in any way that they can, especially those who are not supporting Ukraine as they promised to do

[hakangustavsson]

Thank you Jonathan for the continuous and forceful defense of the Ukrainian people. I admire your important and clear-sighted effort!

[janstageman]

WOW !! BRAVO Jonathan !! What a Wonderful Speech !! Thank You !! You Said It All !! BRILLIANT !! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤ from 🇬🇧

[terryhand]

If that was the purpose of Sullivan's visit he needs to understand that the failure of America to supply the aid that it promised is the reason Ukraine has been forced to target oil refineries.

[randylee]

Oil is his money . Good job recently . Keep up the good work !

[migproductions]

[joemikey]

Jonathan, just perfect ! I wish you were our NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR ! As an American I feel horrible in the delay of US aid !!!!

[djparn]

Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

These strikes on Russian oil infrastructure have clearly hit a nerve, likely increasing (opaque-to-us) instability within the Kremlin. Putin will likely find a way to back off which will necessarily put Ukraine on the offensive in the near-term, which in turn will likely negatively impact Western support. It's so important for Ukraine and the West to keep the pressure up as long as Russia has an aggressively expansionist regime.

[KathysGuess]

Thank you for Not talking about poor Moscow, the tacit agreement ukr had with USA is over, no aid no deal. Ukraine is fighting for its life and frankly they are doing a better job without American lame approach to Putin, Ukraine knows who they are dealing with.
I’m so angry with my 🇺🇸government, there’s no words.🙏🏼🇺🇦Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🙏🏼👏🇺🇸

My friends daughter is based in Amsterdam. She mans supplies convoys of medical supplies to Ukraine. The last convoy was attacked by Russian missiles fired from Belorussia. Last week, her convoy took a field hospital all the way to the east and guess what, it as escorted by armed French troops with a mobile anti missile battery. So what's happening is that other countries are taking independent action independent of Nato or the USA.

Soon Trump will be calling Putin to see if he needs a ride. Oh thats right he cant, his private jet was repo

[pamelahalstead]

Ben is one of the most articulate, intelligent and positively inspired spokesmen of our era. We only hope and pray enough people listen to him and heed his words before it is too late!

[davedawson]

Unceasing resistance to a threat that you understand more than many. Thank you Jonathan. ❤
