After a series of successful strikes on the russian oil infrastructure, the enemy is actively installing special protective nets over fuel tanks, trying to avoid being hit by Ukrainian drones.

Representatives of the ATESH partisan movement reported this on their official page on Telegram.

"Our agents continue to conduct reconnaissance of these critically important facilities. We record the exact coordinates, types of protective structures and assess the level of protection of each target. The data obtained allow us to plan further precise strikes," the movement noted.

Also Russia Has Taken Steps To Protect Its Oil Refineries. Ukraine Is Still Hitting Them.

Fitting oil silos and refineries with nets and slat screens is not defending from Ukraine's existing drones and cruise missiles, let along the newer ones.

More to the point, Russia can't protect all the important areas in all of its refineries. That is why at any given moment for the past month 20% of Russia's refinery capacity is down. Russia is shipping unrefined crude oil to refineries outside of Russia, reducing oil revenue even further. This is making the gas lines, inflation, and banking crisis in Russia worse day by day. When it comes down to Putin's domestic policy of "guns or butter", Ukraine's targeting refineries is making the decision of "neither".

As for Ukraine's newer drones, the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile's launch weight is reportedly over six tons, flies above Mach 1, and has a 2,540 pound warhead. There is no way to protect any commercial facility from a weapon impacting like that.

LMAO

I have said from the start of the war, this is what Ukraine needed to do.

And the paid Russian trolls here who KNEW I was right, kept cat calling me, telling me the pros know what they are doing or whatever.

I am glad Ukraine is finally doing what I said they should do from the start to end this needless war.

A Ukrainian girl shows off watermelons she grew in the Ternopil region.

The fact is that in Western Ukraine it was impossible to grow watermelons due to the cold climate. Watermelons grew in Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa. And now they grow in our country too due to climate change... pic.twitter.com/wK82Z6YNiT— Devana 🇺🇦 (@DevanaUkraine) September 25, 2025

“Russia can’t protect all the important areas in all of its refineries.”

In 1989, the USSR pretty much got by with little car usage, which was confined to the elite and some rural folks.

Food for 500,000 men is about 1.5 million pounds a day, or 750 tons. That’s about 750 truck loads daily. At 50 miles back and forth to a train depot on average, that’s about 20 gallons a round trip. That means about 15,000 gallons a day to feed the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.

All in all, the Russian army campaign against Ukraine probably uses as much fuel as an American city of 100,000 people.
