The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

I am not surprised. Russians will talk like that for years to come. It will have to be somebody else who caused it. Because if it's not it might mean they themselves will have to accept some responsibility for the state of their country - and that they will never do.

Not very smart to attack a country that controls, together with Sweden, the entry and exit to the Baltic Sea - thru which Russia ships a large amount of the oil it exports.

- Russia has no excess storage for surplus oil meant for the destroyed refineries. - Can't send surplus oil through some pipelines because the pumping stations are destroyed. - Can't export surplus oil because the ports are attacked. Russia will close oil wells, some permanently.

"Oh God, a whole war." - Footage has appeared online showing a Ukrainian USV strike on the oil terminal of the Tuapse oil refinery. It is claimed that the drone hit the oil-loading pier, where fuel oil, vacuum gas oil, and diesel are shipped.

Not related to this article or post, but I wonder how many western writers, think tankers, analysts and journalists Russia has on its payroll. I am sure somebody will write software after the war and compare texts with Kremlin narratives over time. I am sure there will be interesting patterns.

So Russia is going into a diesel-crisis just when Ukraine is increasing the attacks on Russian railroads, that increase the need for transportation with trucks running on diesel. Considering the enormous distances in Russia the need for trucks will be substantial too.

My solution to the unwillingness of the EU and NATO to use force against Russia is to support Ukraine. By investing in the Ukrainian Armed Forces instead of their own EU-countries will get way more defense for their money.

When Russia sent 20+ drones into Polish airspace NATO scrambled jets and spent millions of dollars worth of missiles to shoot down four drones and also hit a civilian building while at it. This is after almost four years of drone warfare next door.

Another thing, as far as I know the refineries use some sophisticated high tech parts and rare earth catalysts, that have been produced only by a few companies in Europe, and are under sanctions. So it's really hard for the russians to obtain those parts and bring refineries back online

Regarding burning Russian refineries. Keep in mind that even if a refinery isn't destroyed it's useless if oil can't get there or refined products can't get out from there. By hitting selected pumping stations or railroad junctions Ukraine can also take a refinery offline.

Interesting that after three and a half years of an ever more high-tech drone war in Ukraine and Russia the EU and NATO has done zero to defend itself against drones. Ukraine is soon to be attacked by 1,000 drones per night. How would any EU country do if 100 drones attacked? We are sitting ducks.
