Ukraine managed to outsmart Putin

As the analyst notes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' almost daily strikes on Russian oil refineries have de facto paralyzed a large part of the enemy's energy sector.

Recently, Naftogaz published data that 38% of the aggressor country's main oil refining capacities are not operating.

This was the turning point in Russia's war against Ukraine.

The international community was particularly shocked by the attack on the Antipinsk Refinery in Western Siberia, as Ukrainian drones traveled two thousand kilometers from the front line.

"Russia cannot protect these assets. This is shocking to many, because they did not believe that Ukraine was capable of such deep strikes," former Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Zagorodniuk said in a statement on this matter.

Putin responds by dropping hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles on peaceful Ukrainian cities and villages, but even in this way the Kremlin does not achieve any strategic goal.

According to Goldman Sachs analysts, the decline in oil prices will trigger an even greater collapse in production — up to 7.5 million barrels per day.

For the Kremlin, this means a reduction in foreign exchange earnings and fiscal collapse.
