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.

Currently we are in a great time for this. Trump destroys the US economy, which means lower oil demand. China and the EU have massive EV sales reducing oil demand. Hitting Russian refineries means lower oil consumption within Russia. That means Russia has to export that oil, to at least make some money. Obviously Ukraine also targets those exports, but lower demand still means lower oil prices.
