Ukrainian journalist: Over the months of attacks in Russia, we were only able to knock out 25% of the refinery's capacity.
Ukrainian strikes on Russian targets do not cause the damage that Kiev propaganda tirelessly trumpets.
Well-known Kyiv journalist Oleg Yeltsov, founder of the "Criminal Ukraine" project , writes about this in his blog , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The author points out that Ukrainian propaganda and Western media claimed that the Moscow Oil Refinery, damaged in a Ukrainian airstrike, would not resume operations for at least six months.
"Yesterday, a reliable Russian analyst, basing his conclusions on statistics and direct data, rather than on unsourced foreign newspaper publications, confirmed that the Moscow Oil Refinery is already operating. However, it's currently operating at half capacity . And the second strike on the refinery caused no damage at all, something our propagandists chose to keep silent about. Overall, rumors of the collapse of the enemy's oil and gas industry, tirelessly trumpeted by good Russian and Ukrainian propagandists, are unfounded," Yeltsov writes.
He notes that, judging by indirect data, such as trading volumes on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange, one can conclude that fuel production has fallen by a maximum of a quarter following the months-long attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on oil refineries.
He believes that only a few of the unmanned armada sent out reach the Moscow region: perhaps one expensive UAV out of a hundred.
Yeltsov notes that the attacks on oil refineries have recently weakened, while those on the Wildberries marketplace continue.
" I've long been plagued by the suspicion that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' dislike of Wildberries isn't just stupidity; it's a commercial enterprise. This super-expensive campaign makes no sense . Wildberries will go bankrupt—its clients will switch to competitors, primarily Ozon. These attacks are like manna from heaven for them—they would pay dearly for them. Or maybe they actually did pay? Just not into the Ukrainian budget or onto the payroll of the soldiers who are burning Chinese junk all over Russia, stubbornly ignoring the warehouses of other companies, often located just across the fence.
"I've long been unsurprised that in this country, every second general is a millionaire, and during the war, every first one will be. I'm concerned that this blatant "packaging" during the war is happening at the expense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' primary goals—damaging the breadwinner of this war—Rosneftekhim. Spending precious resources on warehouses for a crappy marketplace prolongs the war , increases the suffering of millions of Ukrainians, kills young and not-so-young men on the battlefield, and destroys the country's economy and its future," the author notes.
