How Ukraine Cuts the Fuel for Russias War

Dnistrivka Confirming the liberation of approximately 360 square kilometers of Ukrainian land (168 retaken and 180 cleared of Russian raiders and saboteurs), the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyj, announced the results achieved on Russian soil as part ofOperation Deep Strike.
In less than two months, at least 85 key enemy targets were struck, broken down as follows: 33 strictly military (bases, depots, arsenals, airports, air force) and 52 related to the Russian Federations military-industrial complex.
With domestically produced missiles and other weapons, and thus without needing approval from other countries, Ukraine has managed to weaken the Russian giant by targeting its biggest vulnerability:raw materials.
The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed it had hitGazproms Neftekhim-Salavat oil refinery Bashkortostan. This is the Elou-Avt-6 Oil processing facility, which is the primary source of oil for many Russian refining plants. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also hit key targets in theVolgogradregion of Russia, which support the enemys logistics, such as the Kuzmichi-1 oil pumping station(part of the crude oil transportation system to the southern regions of Russia) and the Zenzevatka oil pumping station, which facilitate its transportation through the mainKuibyshev-Tikhoretsk gas pipeline. Ukrainian production vehicles also targeted the enemy UAV production facility in theValuyki district of Bilhorod. On September 22, Ukrainian long-range missiles hit theAstrakhan gas processing plant, damaging its most vital areas and disrupting the production chain. TheSaratov and Novokuibyshevsk refinerieswere also affected, catching fire, as was theSamara control and production stationin the region of the same name.
Putin wants all of Ukraine and will only stop when he runs out of fuel commented President Volodymyr Zelensky, explaining once again thatthere really is no point in insisting on the exchange of territories or the restoration of trade relations with Russia, because Putin will not be satisfied and will not stop like this.
The Ukrainians also struck theoil refineries of Sirzan and Krasnodar, which play a central role in supplying the Russian war machine. With new domestically produced marine drones, they paralyzed the operation of the enemyoil terminals in Tuapse and Novorossiysk, linked to theTransneft complex, and of theCaspian gas pipeline consortiumwhere theships of the Russian shadow fleetloaded oil. Other HUR marine drones have detonated the oil pier of one of the largest terminals in the Russian Federation, still located inTuapse.
Just in the past few hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have struck three important hubs linked to the Russian gas distribution network in the occupiedLuhansk region: Shchastia(the main source of gas for the Luhansk thermal power plant), Severodonetsk(of strategic importance as it is linked to the supply of the Azot plant), andNovopskov(also of fundamental importance to the Russian war machine). Other attacks also caused damage inSochi, reflectinga phase of the war in which Ukraine has made the enemys energy-industrial dimension the primary target of its Deep Strike campaign.
The impact of these attacks is immediate, forcing Moscow to scramble to defend a territory as vast as it is vulnerable, which is now deprived of the very lifeblood with which Putin fuels the war.
烏克蘭如何切斷俄羅斯的戰爭燃料

來自烏克蘭的現場報道
Dnistrivka烏克蘭武裝部隊總司令Oleksandr Syrskyj證實解放了約360平方公裏的土地（168平方公裏被奪回，180平方公裏清除了俄羅斯襲擊者和破壞者），宣布了作為深度打擊行動的一部分，在俄羅斯領土上取得的成果。
在不到兩個月的時間裏，至少有85個關鍵的敵人目標被擊中，細分如下：33個屬於嚴格的軍事目標（基地、倉庫、軍械庫、機場、空軍），52個與俄羅斯聯邦的軍工綜合體有關。

憑借國內生產的導彈和其他武器，因此無需其他國家的批準，烏克蘭已設法通過針對其最大的弱點：原材料，來削弱俄羅斯巨人。
烏克蘭總參謀部證實，它襲擊了俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司的Neftekhim-Salavat煉油廠Bashkortostan。這是Elou-Avt-6石油加工廠，是許多俄羅斯煉油廠的主要石油來源。烏克蘭武裝部隊還襲擊了俄羅斯伏爾加格勒地區的敵軍後勤物流鏈上的關鍵目標，例如Kuzmichi-1石油泵站（俄羅斯南部地區原油運輸係統的一部分）和Zenzevatka石油泵站，它們是Kuibyshev-Tikhoretsk天然氣管道主要的輔助成分。
烏克蘭生產車輛還瞄準了位於比爾霍羅德瓦盧基地區的敵方無人機生產設施。9月22日，烏克蘭遠程導彈襲擊了阿斯特拉罕天然氣處理廠，破壞了其最重要的區域並切斷了生產鏈。薩拉托夫和新庫比雪夫斯克煉油廠也受到了影響，發生了火災，同地區的薩馬拉控製和生產站也是如此。

澤連斯基總統這樣評價：普京想要整個烏克蘭，隻有當他耗盡燃料時才會停止，並再次解釋說堅持領土交換或恢複與俄羅斯的貿易關係是沒有意義的，因為普京不會滿意，也不會以這種方式停止。
烏克蘭人還襲擊了瑟茲蘭和克拉斯諾達爾的煉油廠，這些煉油廠在供應俄羅斯戰爭機器方麵發揮著核心作用。憑借國產新型海上無人機，烏軍讓敵人在圖阿普謝和新羅西斯克石油碼頭的運營限於癱瘓，這些碼頭與Transneft綜合體，以及為俄羅斯影子艦隊裝載石油的裏海天然氣管道聯盟有關。其他HUR海上無人機引爆了位於圖阿普謝的俄羅斯聯邦最大碼頭之一的油墩。
就在過去的幾個小時裏，烏軍襲擊被占領的盧甘斯克地區與俄羅斯天然氣分配網絡相連的三個重要樞紐：Shchastia（盧甘斯克熱電廠的主要天然氣來源）、Severodonetsk（具有戰略重要性，因為它與Azot工廠的供應相連）和Novopskov（對俄羅斯戰爭機器也具有根本重要性）。其他襲擊也對索契造成了破壞，標誌著戰爭的新階段：烏克蘭已將敵人的能源工業層麵作為其深度打擊行動的主要目標。
這些攻擊的效果是立竿見影的，迫使莫斯科爭先恐後地保衛廣闊且脆弱的領土，這個地區曾被普京用來給戰爭輸血的命脈現在已經被摧毀。
