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.

Man, a fuel shortage in Moscow is something Putin would struggle to downplay.

These strikes help Hungary become more sovereign.

The biggest obstacle to Hungarian sovereignty is Victor Orban.

Waiting for Putin to claim Ukraine is crossing the line doing this. While he is perfectly OK with bombing Ukrainian Nuclear power plants and dams. Things that are actually clearly war crimes.

It's so cool that Ukraine has found a way to strike back, and they do it within international law!!

Fuck you Russia and fuck you Putin.
Your days are numbered!

So many of Moscow's 'Red Lines' have been crossed it's starting to look like a red carpet.
