Ukraine struck Russia’s largest oil refinery, located in the city of Omsk, on Monday, marking what its forces say was its furthest-ever drone attack in the war.
The Omsk facility, which processes about 21 million tons of oil a year, is in Western Siberia and about 1,700 miles from Ukrainian territory — roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Houston.
Ukraine started their “long range sanctions” program years before Trump attacked Iran. It’s getting more attention now because the years of consistent damage are starting to add up, but it’s certainly not new. People who pay attention have always known the economic vulnerability of the oil market.
That and their drone production ramped up so much that they can “sanction” Russia far more often now
