Defense forces hit an offshore oil terminal in occupied Feodosia
The defense forces carried out a successful strike on an offshore oil terminal in the temporarily occupied Feodosia in Crimea. A fire was reported on the premises of the facility. The terminal of Feodosia is the largest in Crimea in terms of the volume of transshipment of petroleum products, which was used by the invaders, including to meet the needs of their army. The volume of reservoir tanks is 250 thousand cubic meters. There are two such terminals in total on the Russian-annexed peninsula. The second is in Sevastopol.
The attacked terminal is located on the eastern outskirts of Feodosia, near the village of Beregovo. In March, Ukrainian drones already attacked this facility. Then the main pipeline for pumping fuel was damaged. Both terminals were attacked in December and November 2023.
Russian ship “Alexander Obukhov” damaged by power steering
As a result of a successful operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the ship of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces “Alexander Obukhov” was disabled. The ship, based in the city of Baltiysk in the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation and supposed to go on combat duty, received significant damage. A hole appeared in the gas duct leading to the engine, allowing water to enter. Now the Russian ship is undergoing major repairs, and this can be a serious problem – the damaged M-503 engine is a rather difficult thing. Fixing a major installation on a ship is technically complex and expensive, the Chief Intelligence Director said.
Ukraine’s international reserves fell by $3.4 billion. in September
International reserves of Ukraine on October 1, 2024, according to preliminary data, amounted to $38.9 billion. down over the month by 8.1% or $3.4 billion. The reduction in reserves is due to the foreign exchange interventions of the NBU to cover the structural deficit of foreign currency in the market and to smooth out changes in the exchange rate, as well as the payments of the country’s debt in foreign currency, explained the National Bank . In particular, 552.4 million dollars were paid for the servicing and repayment of the public debt in foreign currency. In addition, Ukraine paid the International Monetary Fund $729.8 million. The National Bank considers this dynamic to be another sign of the irregular flow of aid from international partners.
