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.
乌克兰如何切断俄罗斯的战争燃料

Dnistrivka乌克兰武装部队总司令Oleksandr Syrskyj证实解放了约360平方公里的土地（168平方公里被夺回，180平方公里清除了俄罗斯袭击者和破坏者），宣布了作为深度打击行动的一部分，在俄罗斯领土上取得的成果。
在不到两个月的时间里，至少有85个关键的敌人目标被击中，细分如下：33个属于严格的军事目标（基地、仓库、军械库、机场、空军），52个与俄罗斯联邦的军工综合体有关。

凭借国内生产的导弹和其他武器，因此无需其他国家的批准，乌克兰已设法通过针对其最大的弱点：原材料，来削弱俄罗斯巨人。
乌克兰总参谋部证实，它袭击了俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司的Neftekhim-Salavat炼油厂Bashkortostan。这是Elou-Avt-6石油加工厂，是许多俄罗斯炼油厂的主要石油来源。乌克兰武装部队还袭击了俄罗斯伏尔加格勒地区的敌军后勤物流链上的关键目标，例如Kuzmichi-1石油泵站（俄罗斯南部地区原油运输系统的一部分）和Zenzevatka石油泵站，它们是Kuibyshev-Tikhoretsk天然气管道主要的辅助成分。
乌克兰生产车辆还瞄准了位于比尔霍罗德瓦卢基地区的敌方无人机生产设施。9月22日，乌克兰远程导弹袭击了阿斯特拉罕天然气处理厂，破坏了其最重要的区域并切断了生产链。萨拉托夫和新库比雪夫斯克炼油厂也受到了影响，发生了火灾，同地区的萨马拉控制和生产站也是如此。

泽连斯基总统这样评价：普京想要整个乌克兰，只有当他耗尽燃料时才会停止，并再次解释说坚持领土交换或恢复与俄罗斯的贸易关系是没有意义的，因为普京不会满意，也不会以这种方式停止。
乌克兰人还袭击了瑟兹兰和克拉斯诺达尔的炼油厂，这些炼油厂在供应俄罗斯战争机器方面发挥着核心作用。凭借国产新型海上无人机，乌军让敌人在图阿普谢和新罗西斯克石油码头的运营限于瘫痪，这些码头与Transneft综合体，以及为俄罗斯影子舰队装载石油的里海天然气管道联盟有关。其他HUR海上无人机引爆了位于图阿普谢的俄罗斯联邦最大码头之一的油墩。
就在过去的几个小时里，乌军袭击被占领的卢甘斯克地区与俄罗斯天然气分配网络相连的三个重要枢纽：Shchastia（卢甘斯克热电厂的主要天然气来源）、Severodonetsk（具有战略重要性，因为它与Azot工厂的供应相连）和Novopskov（对俄罗斯战争机器也具有根本重要性）。其他袭击也对索契造成了破坏，标志着战争的新阶段：乌克兰已将敌人的能源工业层面作为其深度打击行动的主要目标。
这些攻击的效果是立竿见影的，迫使莫斯科争先恐后地保卫广阔且脆弱的领土，这个地区曾被普京用来给战争输血的命脉现在已经被摧毁。
