Over the past three weeks, Ukraine has wreaked havoc with Russia’s energy infrastructure. Soon after the new year, someone attached explosives to train carriages in the Urals city of Nizhny Tagil. A blast took place next to facilities owned by Gazprom Neft, the country’s third biggest oil producer. Next, a kamikaze drone crashed into an oil depot in the Oryol region.
On 18 January, another oil terminal, in St Petersburg – Vladimir Putin’s home city – came under attack. It was the first time since the invasion in February 2022 that unmanned aerial vehicles had reached the Leningrad region.
There was more to come. A large-scale fire broke out at an oil depot in the town of Klintsy, not far from Belarus and Ukraine.
“raise the price of oil” and “big economic impact in Russia” makes less than zero sense
If we set aside the entire context of the conversation maybe? What is your point?

That’s the vibe I was getting. Hadn’t gotten around to tagging this one yet
How would oil skyrocketing in price hurt the world’s largest gas station lmao?
Here comes the airplane 🥄
Drones attack russian gas infrastructure ➡️ supply decreases ➡️ Russia exports decrease as price increases ➡️ other petrostates profit opportunistically
I’m sure you’re already aware, but this shit is american BS propaganda lol
