Kremlin snuff box

Ukraine hit a gas terminal in the Leningrad region. Why is this bad news for us?

The Ukrainian Armed Forces again struck the territory of the Leningrad region. This time the gas terminal in the port of Ust-Luga was attacked. It is worth noting that this is a very complex facility, extremely important for us in terms of energy exports.

The very fact that an unknown drone flew to such an object is not very good news. The drone was probably launched from Ukrainian territory and flew at least 900 km across Russia.

The gas terminal was not protected by air defense forces (according to our information, due to a lack of air defense means).

The second interesting point is that after the strike of an unknown drone, a fire broke out at the gas condensate transshipment terminal, but there are several equally important facilities nearby - terminals for transshipment of sulfur and coal, as well as the Rosneft terminal.

In general, the fire safety system at the facility was not ready for such an emergency.

Government sources say that attacks on the logistics infrastructure may cause, if not problems with supplies (for now, this is still a one-time action), then an increase in the cost of supplies themselves.

Now the authorities promise their partners that ports in the Leningrad region will be protected and there are no risks for exports. However, it is likely that logistics prices will rise due to rising insurance costs for tankers. Some partners are already initiating a change in the route of energy supplies.

It is obvious that the Kiev regime has changed its strike tactics and is using new developments in its military-industrial complex to attack logistics and energy. Alas, now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hitting targets in the Leningrad region, which is certainly alarming.

At the same time, the Ukrainians are not striking at Moscow. Sources say that the capital is reliably protected by various missile defense and air defense systems.

However, other regions of Russia are suffering due to air strikes - in the last 24 hours alone, the Oryol, Tula and Smolensk regions were attacked. The border Bryansk and Belgorod regions are also constantly under attack.

Interlocutors at the Ministry of Defense admit that it is physically impossible to protect the entire territory of Russia. Negotiations are currently underway on the supply of air defense systems from North Korea.

However, this is not an easy process and there is simply no real opportunity to cover all Russian territory within a radius of 1000 km from Ukraine.
