RUSSIAN Oil Refineries Shut Down After Drone Attacks as Ukraine Targets Russian Oil & Gas Revenue
Video Summary
The Russian economy is facing significant problems due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The exit of major oil companies from Russia, such as ExxonMobil, BP, and Shell, has resulted in the loss of expertise and knowledge needed to operate complex oil and gas facilities. This has been exacerbated by the effects of Western sanctions, which have isolated Russia from the latest technology and expertise.
Furthermore, Ukraine has changed its focus from targeting military sites to striking economic targets in Russia, specifically oil and gas facilities. These attacks, conducted using drones and missiles, have caused significant damage and disruption to Russia’s oil and gas production, leading to production cutbacks and a ban on the export of gasoline products.
The loss of expertise and technology has resulted in Russia’s oil and gas production being reduced by 1 million barrels per day, resulting in a significant loss of revenue. The ban on gasoline exports has also further reduced Russia’s income. The Russian government has responded by introducing strict measures to ban the use of VPNs and other privacy tools, citing national security concerns. This has raised concerns about online freedom and the impact on Russia’s growing digital economy.
The situation is likely to continue to affect the Russian economy, with the potential for further damage to its oil and gas infrastructure. The Russian government’s response has been to tighten its grip on the internet, leading to concerns about online freedom and the impact on Russia’s growing digital economy.
