“I know you’re fighting for your life, but could you punch back a little less hard? Filling my truck up is getting expensive!”
Must be up there with the most ridiculous demands of all time.They might as well say outright that their economies are more important to them than Ukraine’s existence is.
Oil reserves running out is now a severe risk for Ukraine. Putting as much pressure as possible on Russias oil refineries is crucial to prevent being overrun.
In times of rising fuel prices it becomew INCREASLINGLY important for Ukraine to limit Russias production ans export capabilties… as the enemy can use high prices to finance further attacks. The US/Israel caused high prices, not Ukraine fighting for its survival.
Hmmm… How could Russia possibly stop Ukraine from doing this? There’s just no possible way, right?
Surely if they blow up the refineries, Russia has less ability to take advantage of the soaring prices, as it has less oil to sell.
