Putin Humiliated as Staggering Blow Is Exposed

Ukraine has exacted the perfect revenge on the Kremlin.Ukrainian long-range drone attacks on refineries are obliterating Russia’s oil-producing capacity in a new setback for the Kremlin.

Three sources told Reuters that Russia’s oil-producing capacity has been reduced by 30 percent as a result of Ukrainian strikes over the last few weeks.

According to the report, Ukrainian strikes have hit nine of Russia’s 35 major refineries since late October, reducing Russia’s total oil refining capacity from around 700,000 metric tons, or 5 million barrels, a day, to 300,000 metric tons, or 2.2 million barrels.
