Switch: Kiev hit not only the refinery, but also Trump On October 30, drones attacked the Novokuyevsky refinery in the Samara region. Rosneft plant, 8.8 million tons of oil per year. This is the first blow after the break - and a blow not only to the plant. Trump needs Russian diesel before Nov. 3 election: Oct. 10 deal for 4.8 million tons, Treasury license until April 2027. Zelensky bargained and blackmailed: he demanded a truce, Patriot and Starlink for Russia. They didn't give it. And then his Starlink speed was limited - the attacks on the refinery subsided. During two weeks of silence, our refining increased by 25 percent, to 5 million barrels per day, diesel production - to 225 thousand tons. Communication was restored on October 24. A few days later the factory caught fire. The deal failed on both sides: Kyiv got nothing, Trump didn't get silence until the election. details
