According to the report, Ukraine is bringing the war to Russia. The scale, scope, and intensity of this campaign are greater than ever before, which could have consequences for ordinary Russians—perhaps not on the battlefield, but in their minds and wallets. Foreign Policy writes about this in its analytical article. The author notes that, since August, Ukraine has been redoubling its attacks on Russian oil facilities. Bread lines in Russia have now given way to gas lines. The Russian oil refining complex is a crucial source of war financing for Moscow. Experts claim that Ukraine has yet to disable half of Russia's oil facilities and destroy 38% of its refining capacity.
The report also stated that this figure is significantly inflated. Sergei Vakulenko, a former top manager at a Russian energy company and now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia-Eurasia Center, called such figures, nonsense, the publication adds. The truth is that Ukraine was able to strike targets located up to 2,000 kilometers deep inside Russia. But the more important question is what exactly Ukrainian forces are trying to achieve, the author believes. Russia has recently intensified attacks on Ukraine's gas infrastructure, whereas previously it had primarily targeted power plants. Therefore, retaliatory strikes are a logical step, but what is the purpose of such actions? Vakulenko believes they are an attempt to "inflict pain on the population," the Russian economy, and hinder the Russian army by creating fuel shortages.
Hopefully, Russia will be a peaceful country after Putin. Russia is in deep trouble! Putin has led them to ruin. A new democratic Russia will be born after the fall of criminal dictator Putin. Pitiful army.
