Reuters said Novatek had stopped operations at its Arctic LNG 2 project, which processes gas from the Utrenneye field on West Siberia' Gydan Peninsula, in the latest blow to Russian fuel exports.
It comes as Russian exports funding Putin's war have been hampered by repeated drone strikes on oil facilities, blamed on Ukraine. One energy industry expert told Newsweek that state oil giant Rosneft had reduced daily oil processing in March by a fifth.
Sanctions have caused a lack of specialist tankers to transport the LNG from Russia through thick sea ice. Six Arc7 tankers were due to be built by Hanwha Ocean— three for Russia's leading tanker group Sovcomflot and three for Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.
But the three tankers ordered by Sovcomflot were canceled after it was sanctioned by the U.S. in February.
In recent months, oil facilities across a wide area of Russia have been targeted by Ukraine, including in Ryazan and Pervyy Zavod south of Moscow, the Rostov region by the Ukrainian border, as well as Nizhny Novgorod and Kirishi, close to St. Petersburg.
Targets were the main technological installations that ensure the processing of raw materials to obtain oil products of export quality.
Mykhailo Gonchar, president of the CGS Strategy XXI group, said analysis had shown the average daily oil refining capacity in the largest Russian oil company, Rosneft, had decreased by 19 percent compared with January...
So far, the strikes have caused losses, and costs for repairs, while hampering Putin's war machine, but "for these strikes to have a fatal effect, they must continue unabated," he added...

Obama and Biden had as much to do with the Ukrainian events of 2014 as they did with Elizabeth Leachman breaking five kilometer run records.
Obama did side with Russia when he promised them greater “flexibility” after his reelection in an obvious treason caught on an open mike.
“That was just to smoke you Russian apologists out”
************
What we did was smoke out a purveyor of disinformation.
LOL Brendan Cole LOL
BS. It was a CIA orchestrated coup meant to push back on Putin after Putin snubbed “the great reset”
what Rooskie Black Sea Flotilla doink?
glub, glub, glub ...
It does affect World Prices on Oil.
It’s called supply and demand.
Less oil. Higher oil prices.
May he finish the job soon and totally destroy it leading to new leadership there.
May it be so!
The Canuck is stupid.
What missiles without explosive warheads being fired by the Russians from Dzhankoi air base in Northern Crimea doink? Lol!
There was a scene in NF’s Three Body Problem where a government big wig asked a Naval officer about this big new Arleigh Burke class-like ship and what he thought about it.
“It was built for a non-asymmetrical ware between huge players. I’d have taken the billions this thing cost and bought thousands of drones instead.” Even a ship with multiple CIWS would have trouble getting a huge drone swarm
Funny how all bashed you instead of commenting on the article you wrote.
You should start your own “Bash Canuck” thread. Should be enjoyable.
At least you are an amusing dunce, even though you do not intend to be the clown that you are.
“...CIA orchestrated coup...”
You fall for Moscow orchestrated lies. Go tell Klitschko it was the incompetent CIA. Watch out for his long looping left hook.
things got to change in America and Europe. I don’t mean by going all electric, or all green. Change will happen when the truth catches up to the manufactured fantasy reality in which we now are forced to live. The Longer we delay this reality, the more painful and bloody the change will be. Think 1789 France or 1917 Russia. It will be a grim wake up, when the American people realize that much of what they were forced to believe—just aint so.
More BS.
It’s a fact that that the CIA was in the ground organizing the coup with resistance.
Just as they did with the Arab Spring and just as they did with the Summer of Love here.
Once Obama got his preferred candidate, Poroshenko installed. Obama was pushing harder and harder up to 2016 that Russia was a horrible threat and needed to be stopped and then… Trump got into office and suddenly Russia had obviously overthrown the US elections but Ukraine wasn’t touched…
Then Biden gets into office and hostilities between Ukraine and Russia immediately start up again to the point where war is declared and the US is complicit in starting this war because they refused any and all negotiations and peace initiatives by Zelensky and pushed for a hard line.
I’m not a Putinista - it’s you who are a slobbering puppy for Biden and Obama who are using their power to further enrich themselves and drain western resources. Grow up.
“...I’m not a Putinista...”
You recite all the Putinista lies.
In reality, Boy-kisser Putin said, “Russia knows no borders.” He invaded the Republic of Georgia. He created the fake separatist movement in the Donbas. He dedicates new Stalin statues. He levels Ukrainian towns. He bemoans the loss of the old Soviet Union and works hard creating the Neo-Soviet Russia.

It's a global market, so that statement is false (and so obviously false that anyone 1 week into a basic economics class should be able to clearly explain it).
I suppose the gist of this is that supposedly, the Russian economy will only beat the US/NATO economy by 2 percentage points instead of 3 in the next quarter...
