The war-damaged energy unleashed by the Russian Federation, and the world is beginning to feel it, Bloomberg notes.
The war in Ukraine is moving into a new phase and putting energy in the crosshairs: both Russia and Ukraine are now targeting energy assets to strike the enemy’s economy. The world is already feeling its consequences, Bloomberg reports.
The International Energy Agency earlier said that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries could disrupt trade in petroleum products, including diesel fuel.
In addition, after Russia attacked Ukraine’s gas and energy infrastructure this week, gas prices in Europe jumped 10%.
The media said Ukraine was targeting Russian oil refineries with a total capacity of about 3.4 million barrels per day. However, some of the affected sites may have spare or underutilized processors deployed. The drones hit targets at a distance of 1,200 kilometers.
Analysts believe that 19 Russian oil refineries with a total capacity of 3.8 million barrels per day – or more than half of the capacity of the Russian Federation – are under threat. If the range increases to 1,500 km, another 600,000 barrels are at risk.
We remind you that on the night of April 11, the Russians launched a massive air strike on Ukraine using various types of missiles and kamikaze drones – 82 units in total. Air defense forces destroyed 57 aerial targets.
Later it became known that the enemy attacked energy infrastructure facilities in four regions of Ukraine – Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Lviv and Kyiv regions.
