Putin wanted Russian Speaking Territory in YouCraye and he got it.
YouCrayne has not taken it back and won’t.

With China’s backing and Biden constantly cutting our domestic production? I doubt it. Sanctions coupled with ramping up our own supply to the world market likely would have stung. But Biden’s constant attacks on our own energy production negated that.
This is all inaccurate.
The Russians report oil in tonnes. Tonnes per year, typically. There are about 7.5 barrels/ton of CRUDE. Not gasoline. Gasoline is lighter.
Russian production of oil is floating along at about 9 million BARRELS per DAY, in accordance with OPEC+ agreements. This is down from 11ish.
It is 5-6 million bpd MORE than domestic consumption.
As for refining, they refine about 5.5 million barrels/day (that’s with a non-7.5 barrels per tonne conversion). As noted they consume less than this domestically, and, pay attention here, the Urals crude blend is diesel heavy. Everything coming out of refineries is not gasoline.
I did my own calculations of refinery capacity offline, and I used very pessimistic (from a Russian perspective) estimates. It is very clear what Reuters has done is presume one light payload drone that happens to arrive at a refinery will take 100% of that refinery offline, and hold it offline since that day, with no repairs or restoration taking place.
A more reasonable, and pessimistic, estimate is a low payload drone can take out 50% of a refinery’s function, and it will take 2 weeks to restore it, which frankly is very pessimistic because you won’t lose 50%, you’ll lose a natural gas burner maybe, and that has a spare on site and will replace in hours.
But even with my pessimistic estimates, capacity loss would be about 4% average in a given week.

Join and laugh at the humor Zeepers provide!!
Biden put a stop to that because gas prices were already starting to go up. Not good for his reelection chances.
How many civilian oil workers do you think Victoria Nueland had shot in that Crocus City Hall massacre? That might affect oil production.
Putin really stepped in it this time! It’s all over for him now! #8903459038

Russia’s oil and gas revenue jumped more than 80% in February from a year earlier to over $10 billion due to higher prices for the nation’s crude as its producers withstood Western sanctions.
Russia produces 9.5 million barrels per day.
The United States produces 13 million barrels per day.
The most important real and severely pertinent news is that India ceased buying Russian oil. Russia now has only one export customer of significance, China.
The impact on production is going to be devastating to the Russian economy dependent entirely on export oil revenue
Payments to the Russia worshipping Freepers may cease because there are no longer funds to pay propagandists

Payback.
wHY DO YOU THINK OIL IS UP OVER 80 BUCKS A BBL? Putin is not producing.
But Russia has friends like China. China can build a coal burning power plant in 10 days. Cheep labor too.
Ours is also in trouble, but the harm to ours is self-inflicted.
