> *Also, following the alleged Ukrainian drone attack on Russian gas giant Novatek in the Baltic sea, tankers nearby moved far out to sea with their loading disrupted.*

> Following a drone attack by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) on Russian gas giant Novatek’s terminal in the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, tankers nearby moved far out to sea with their loading disrupted, Ukrainian outlet NV reported citing its sources. Additionally, Russians are forced to redeploy even more air defense systems from the front to protect the rear areas.
>
> The Ust-Luga port is a key node in Russia’s energy export system, including a gas processing plant and major port for shipping petroleum products abroad.
>
> > “The targeted terminal is one of the newest and most important in Russia. It works on exports but also supplies fuel for Russian troops. This SBU attack caused significant material but also reputational damage to Russia. The vaunted Russian air defenses have shown their porousness,” an NV source said.

Get ‘er done 👏🏽☠️💪🏽
I think attacking Russian oil is the best strategy and directly limits revenue to fund the war.
Then start attacking the now undefended front line areas more. They can’t defend everywhere.
This is awesome. But I’m especially excited about the attack on the plant that makes Russias’s air defense systems.
This is beautifully embarrassing for russia and absolutely helping in the long game… and the short game as tankers at sea are stuck waiting, etc. Slava Ukraini!
Spreading russia thin, between both military and energy facilities, will leave the way open for the F-16s.
Would be bad ass if they started attacking air defenses as Russia is moving them back
Good. This is the best way to stretch them and make it impossible to defend anything.
This might help weaken their defences on the occupied Ukrainian territories and along the frontline, and help the Ukrainians in the future counter-offensive campaigns 🙏🏻
