Two oil refineries in Russia's Samara region were hit in Ukrainian drone strikes, the local governor has said, in the latest strike against the country's infrastructure facilities

Samara Governor Dmitry Azarov said Saturday that Ukrainian drones had struck facilities belonging to state-owned energy giant Rosneft, which left one site on fire.

There were no immediate reports of injuries from either incident, but unverified footage shared by Telegram users showed a blaze at what appeared to be the Syzran refinery. The Baza Telegram channel said that the fire engulfed 5,380 square feet following the attack at 6 a.m. local time in the Volga River region.

At the same time, several other drones attacked the Novokuibyshevsk refinery, about 120 miles further east, where a fire also broke out that was extinguished half an hour later, the Baza channel said.

Two days earlier, Ukrainian intelligence directorate GUR had reportedly conducted a drone strike against the Perviy Zavod oil refinery near the city of Kaluga, which is used by the Russian military.

Also this week, the Rosneft oil refinery in Ryazan, one of the country's largest crude-processing facilities, was hit in a drone strike as were facilities in the Nizhny Novgorod, Leningrad, Oryol and Rostov regions.

A Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) source told Ukrainian online newspaper Ukrainska Pradva that the spate of strikes was part of "a continuation of a series of special operations against Russian oil refineries."

These incidents have caused significant disruption, with facilities hit in the past few days accounting for 12 percent of Russia's oil-processing capacity, according to Bloomberg.

What is the price for Brent crude on the spot market. If these attacks did actual damage then oil price shocks would follow. At best 15% of Russian production is affected in the short term.

The battlefield victory Zenlinski so needs is elusive at best. Strategic losses for Ukraine continue to mount, and Ukraine is struggling to eke out tactical victories lasting more than 48 hours.

Nice Ukie PR. But does nothing to change Ruzzia’s advance in Ruzzian Speaking Ukraine Territories. Plus Ukies are running out of warm male bodies.

How deep into Russia?
—

Deep enough that the cost of delivered fuel to the front becomes very expensive and the delay of arrival very long.

[fireman15]

These “Ukrainian” drone attacks against Russian infrastructure are acts of desperation. The chances that the drones are actually piloted by members of the Ukrainian military are about as likely as the Nord Stream pipeline explosions being from Ukrainian forces.

The scary part is that the Russians almost certainly know the actual origins of these attacks. If this does not stop what is going to keep the Russians from attacking Western infrastructure? We are truly teetering on the brink of WWIII and all that this really means.

Of course, the Zeepers here will be celebrating the escalation of hostilities up to and including the deaths of millions and possibly billions of people from the collapse of the world’s economy after satellite communications etc... go down.

Just shows you how far the “Deep State” goes to interfere in elections like the one Russia is having this weekend.

What have they got planned for November 2024 here in the USA.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Another victory for the CIA or is it MI6? This wouldn’t be happening without US supports and tools. The Proxies war is slowly becoming a real, undeclared war with Russia.
