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.

    Why do you think they aren’t? It’s not like revolution is unheard of there. Do you have any real reason, or just faith. I don’t really think believing in things makes it true, or the world would be a much different place.

      Because the revolution is not likely to happen anytime soon. Of course, I can be wrong.

        Why do you think that? Again, belief is useless. Do you have actual reasoning?

          Why do you believe it’s happening? Are you willing to bet the revolution will happen before the end of the year?

            I don’t think I stated an opinion. You did. Do you actually have a reason for what you said?

            For future reference, I think it’s quite possible Russia sees a revolution or regime change. They’re losing a large portion of their young male population, their economy is in turmoil, and their oil refineries, which is by far their most important export, are being destroyed. They saved up money for a while before the war to pay families who lose soldiers and temporarily keep their economy afloat and keep people from getting too riled up, but that money is largely gone now. Payments to families are being delayed or not happening at all, and the economy is in a risky position.

            Will it happen? I don’t think anyone can make this prediction. May it happen? Certainly. I don’t think any reasonable person looks at the situation and thinks it’s on stable ground. Only the people with their heads in the sand can sit back and say Russia is in a great position internally or externally right now. Sure, Russian media says it’s great, but they benefit from selling that image to the people. Don’t wholy trust anyone who benefits from you believing what they’re saying.
