"Ukraine's strikes against the Ust-Luga and Primorsk oil export terminals have severed as much as 40 percent of Russian oil export revenue, equivalent to 2 million barrels of oil a day."
"The attacks on the oil-exporting infrastructure included drone strikes that damaged at least five of the 18 tanks at the Transneft-Port Primorsk oil terminal."
"Ust-Luga exported 32.9 million tonnes of oil products last year, and Primorsk 16.8 million tonnes, making these strikes a significant blow to Russian oil exports."
"Increased Russian ground assaults from March 17-20 were reported as an attempt to capitalize on the situation, but Ukraine's counteractions have severely impacted Russian oil supply."
Russia has initiated a spring offensive with increased assaults in eastern Ukraine and a large air assault on western cities. Ukraine has retaliated by targeting Russian oil export terminals, disrupting up to 40 percent of Russia's oil revenue, equivalent to 2 million barrels daily. Attacks on the Ust-Luga and Primorsk terminals have caused significant damage, with satellite images showing flames and destruction. Ukraine's actions aim to hinder Russia's ability to fund its military efforts amidst rising oil prices due to geopolitical tensions.
