55% of the capacity of the oil industry may be disabled in the Russian Federation from the beginning of November. These are the results of Ukraine's "fuel war" in the last two weeks.
Even if the factories are not closed completely, the series of attacks made the repairs an endless process, broke supply chains and brought the country closer to a new fuel crisis.
The campaign, which spanned geography from Siberia to the Baltic Sea, has already hit more than nine factories. Sergey Vakulenko, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Berlin Center, stated: The scope of the attacks is such that the paralysis of the processing becomes a very tangible threat.
The industry found itself in "Vice". On the one hand, the destroyed capacities, on the other hand, there is a financial hole: discounts on Russian Ural's oil jumped to 31-33 dollars per barrel, and the price collapsed to about 65 dollars.
A double blow to the budget and infrastructure, the consequences of which are only beginning to be revealed.
