Summary
A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.
The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.
Because many people in Crimea and in the eastern regions actually want to be under Russian influence.
Anybody in Crimea knows that if you say Crimea is Ukraine, you will quite soon get beaten up seriously badly. A person cannot know whether you will rat him out or not, so It does not matter what he thinks – he will absolutely say that he supports the Russia. Practically everybody in Crimea will say that they do, no matter what they think.
That would be the Russians sent there to cause trouble as “separatists” right?
Or just people who have been living there.
I hear ruzzian colonists have been fleeing back to mainland ruzzia from Crimea, Yuri. That doesn’t seem good for ruzzia’s future in that area :)
And there are ways for them to get that. For instance, about 200,000 Afghans resided or immigrated to America between 2000 and 2021. What was stopping those in Crimea from doing the same? And we haven’t even addressed if that “many” is actually a majority.
A lot of Crimeans DID do the same. Why do you assume they didn’t?
I don’t, but it does seem a better option than war.
The opposite is happening, people who want to remain under Ukrainian influence are moving to the regions still under Ukrainian control.
Is that because of the ruzzians so kindly setting up a removalist service, with all the trimmings, Yuri? That’s a /s by the way. The fact is ruzzians are stealing any children they can get their foul grubby paws on. Any males are being forcibly conscripted to fight against their own people. Lord knows what those vile animals do with the women… Ruzzians are orcs in vaguely human shape. Their supporters are even worse.
ruzzian sock puppet says what?
What I heard was, “The people who don’t want to be under Russian influence or live under wartime conditions are moving to the regions that aren’t engaged in military occupation.”
