KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine on Sunday said it struck an oil depot in southern Russia that supplies the Kremlin’s troops as Russian strikes in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, where Moscow claimed further gains, left five civilians dead and 15 others wounded.
Ukraine’s General Staff said in a statement Kyiv’s security services were responsible for a drone strike in Russia’s southern Kursk region that morning on an oil depot used to meet the needs of the Russian military, and contains 11 tanks with a total volume of 7,000 cubic meters (about 247,202 cubic feet), adding the attack prompted “powerful explosions and a fire… probably involving containers with oil products.”

Keep it up, striking Russian oil production facilities increases the global oil prices…..even senile Joe asked St Z to stop it.
I am amused by the brain dead war cheerleaders.

The West has supposedly warned Ukraine that attacking Russian energy facilities leads to like-kind response…by a factor of thousands of warhead power.
FAFO
—”Keep it up, striking Russian oil production facilities increases the global oil prices”
Trump opens the us pipelines and as oil prices fall, Russia falls deeper into the abyss.
Notice that China has been slow-walking the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, why is that?
Russia ordered a six-month ban on gasoline exports, why is that?
Russia Raises Key Interest Rate to 18 Percent, why is that?
And unprovoked Russian attacks on Ukraine - the breadbasket of Europe - raise food prices for everyone around the World
See? I can play that game too ...

Destroying Russia’s oil production capacity doesn’t affect world oil prices unless Russian oil is otherwise sold on the world market, which it isn’t.

Huh?
Would someone let MucousMaximus know?
Zelenski trying soooo hard to get Nato involved in WW3....a sustain his flow of revenue.
Ukraine has a putulent emotionally handicapped government. Desperate and demanding Russian surrender as the army continues to be destroyed. Ukraine is being disarmed at a rate the makes collaspe almost impossible until the last soldier is sent in a fablous ending. Russia just maintains contact while destroying every unit in its path. Unit rotations are now no longer relieving units, but replacing them to plug the breach. And in the midst of the bear smashing the AFU, they attack energy facilities which makes the bear pause dropping FABs just long enough to launch another round of missile strikes on Ukrainian energy.
Ukraine is seeing its military crushed in a controlled slow motion fashion.
When Russia actually begins to attack and and take land, not much will stand in their way in September.

If Russia is “winning,” shouldn’t they be, like, winning?
How dare an invaded country destroy the military fuel depot of the invading country!
The impertinence!

This is NOT the first time that Russian energy facilities have been targeted by Ukraine.
Did it result in a thousand-times response the previous times?
Thought not!

Reducing the AFU by 50-60,000 men a month is winning. At the end of 2023, Russia only had 300,000 men fighting. Today it is over 570,000. During this year alone, Ukraine has lost over 200,000 men. Ukraine is a NATO Junkyard. Even the F16s have failed to provide any advantage.
It has resulted in Ukraine being without electric or entrie cities and regions under rationing. In some places, they get electric four hours a day. When Ukraine restores the electric, Russia sends another Iscander missile to break the grid. The first year of strikes Ukraine was able to repair or reroute electric, but these days the outages usually last weeks. Russia usually only takes out the power in regions around airfields, or before they begin ground operations, to prevent railways from operating. This winter will see them freezing in their cellars.
Russia has shown it can’t fight a war with an enemy that can fight. All mother Russia can do is kill civilians with missiles.
Russian troops on the line have gray hair. Mercenaries from N Korea, Africa and China are slaughtered within hours of arrival at the front. There are reports of African mercenaries being trained with sticks.
Meanwhile......... Russia and Crimea are on fire. The Black Sea Navy is gone

Russia has taken out over half of Ukraine power generation Country’s electricity capacity has dropped below 20GW, with Russian attacks causing worst blackouts since start of war
“…… Before Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s domestic energy production was about 55 gigawatts of electricity, among the largest in Europe. That power generation capacity has currently dropped below 20GW, due to bombardments or to Russian occupation taking those plants offline, according to Ukrainian officials……
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal told government meeting on Thursday that the consequences of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy sector are “long-term”, which means that saving power “will be part of our daily life in the years to come”
……….. “If no measures are taken, according to our modelling, then probably the population will have only two to four hours of electricity [per day] in January,” said Dodonov.”
This quote you cited makes no sense. Gigawatts are units of power - i.e., the rate of energy production (or of the capacity of the installations producing it), not of production, itself.
The units cited here are inappropriate to the statement.
Later on, there is mention of "capacity," but as a whole, this excerpt utilizes different, incommensurate units of measure and therefore cannot be taken seriously.
