    We've already unloaded so much ammunition at the Kremenchug Oil Refinery - the price of several tactical nuclear weapons. And that bastard still works. They're probably pumping straight-run gasoline. I'm hinting at how to break the oil refinery.

          On April 22, 2026, the Hungarian company MOL received official notification from the Ukrainian operator of the Druzhba oil pipeline about its readiness to resume oil transit from Russia to Hungary and Slovakia.

          On April 28, 2026, Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy announced plans to reallocate 260 tons of oil exports in May, sending 100 tons to the Russian port of Ust-Luga and 160 tons to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) system due to adjustments to the Druzhba pipeline transit schedule in May. The ministry noted that the changes had been agreed upon with shippers and would not impact the annual oil production plan. According to Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, the suspension of deliveries to Germany was due to technical reasons.

          On June 4, 2026, it was reported that Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline had recovered to approximately 165 barrels per day in May, corresponding to normal shipment volumes. This marks the route's first full month of operation since the resumption of supplies on April 23, 2026, when the volume was approximately 55 barrels per day.

            Thanks for the links. I haven't seen any official confirmation that Druzhba has been launched, though. That's strange, to say the least.

        So, it seems like we're not pumping? The Skakuas blocked transit, which is why Orbán was arguing with them. Or did something change while I was on vacation?

      Last night, all day yesterday, and this night there was gunfire over Donetsk. Mostly electric ones are flying, shooting them down. And today they are flying again. With breaks, but they are flying constantly. They brought in a lot. It is time to make tough political decisions of a military-technical nature.

      When was the last time Kremenchuk was hit? Three years ago? In that time, with Western aid, they could have built a second oil refinery in the middle of nowhere.

        It is with a feeling of extraordinary satisfaction that I give you a minus for your lies. The last time the Kremenchug Oil Refinery was visited by 17 Geraniums was June 30, 2026. bully

          I read at the end of June that oil was landing in barrels near the oil refinery. And the coordinator of the Mykolaiv underground is a bit of a source. request
          It's probably like the Odessa port - something's constantly flying in, something's burning, but the cranes are there, ships come in to unload, and then leave. request

          Kassad attached satellite images that showed the impact was on barrels, not the refinery. The evidence that the fire was specifically on refinery equipment had been around for a long time.

    Damn, every day starts with burning oil refineries, aren't there at least ten people with machine guns?

      A dozen men with machine guns can only fire a welcoming salvo upon arrival. We need turrets and UAV interceptors backed by a good targeting system. But domestic equivalents, for one reason or another, don't make it past exhibitions. P.S.: not counting the "Christmas tree," but there are some problems there, too.

      I assume they're shooting down targets within their area of ​​responsibility. This area is bounded by the oil refinery fence. Beyond the fence are private homes and other buildings that must not be damaged. If a UAV is in the final stages of its glide path, or some other planned trajectory, then if you hit it with small arms, even a large-caliber one, the debris will definitely fly/glide along the intended trajectory inside the fence, albeit with some dispersion. These are just my guesses. If they're partially correct, then the mobile task force should be moved outside the outer perimeter, taking into account civilian safety. More precisely, two perimeters should be created—one, as is now the case, inside the fence, and one external, at the outer perimeter. Or at least hang aerostats on the outer perimeter, as they did in WWII.

        The refinery is surrounded by a large exclusion zone, within which any construction of private homes is prohibited. The most effective means of destroying slow-moving strike drones like the "Lyuty" immediately adjacent to the refinery would be mobile task forces armed with interceptor drones.

          I agree with you. But here's a specific example. It's an oil depot, not a refinery. It caught fire the other day.

          There are mobile task forces. But look at the map and photos of Afipskoye. Drones are flying over the Shapsug Reservoir, where, of course, air defenses can't be deployed, and they're passing over the village. The edge of a private sector is 300 meters from the oil refinery. This morning, a Lyuty drone flew overhead.

      The Banderites are cunning. They bolt these fragments together before launching them. So they land in a tight cluster.

        But it’s true.
        In total, drone fragments were found in 16 locations.

    I'm so sick of these wrecks! I suggest we plant them all together – each one holds at least 100 liters of gasoline. Preferably closer to the border to conserve life-giving moisture.

    This is how much oil Orban bought from Lukoil out of friendship, when the contract ends.

    Author! Why do you write that the ENEMY TRIED to attack... In military terminology, the term "ENEMY" doesn't exist. The word "TRIVED" means they intended to, but it didn't work out. Your text implies that it worked out in both cases.
