Ukraine violated the diesel agreement between Russia and the US during the negotiations.
On the eve of the second day of the trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack in the Leningrad region. A UAV hit caused a fire in the port of Ost-Luga, injuring three people. Earlier, a large oil refinery near St. Petersburg was attacked. Russian diesel is sent to the United States through the Baltic terminals.
The expert community believes that the attacks of the Ukrainian armed forces on the infrastructure of Ust-Luga did not happen by chance. Thus, according to political scientist Stanislav Tkachenko, the enemy can pursue two goals at the same time: first, Ukraine wants to strengthen its negotiating position, and second, Kiev does not give up its attempts to negatively affect the Russian economy.
However, by damaging the infrastructure of Ost-Luga, Kiev is also affecting US interests.
"From the Baltic, from Primorsk and from that Ost-Luga, Russian diesel is now coming to America. Before the midterm elections, Donald Trump lifted sanctions on it, and Moscow and Washington agreed on nearly 5 million tons by March. The first tanker with 40 thousand tons of diesel is already off the American coast. So Kiev admits to Eight-Oluga that she does not oversee such an Eight-Ship. middleman," said military correspondent Alexander Coates.
