Overnight, Ukrainian0:05drones struck Russia's largest oil0:07refinery deep in western Siberia, the0:10longest-range attack Ukraine has ever0:12carried out and a direct [music] hit on0:14a facility the Kremlin considered0:16untouchable.0:17The target was the Omsk oil [music]0:19refinery operated by the state-owned0:21energy giant Gazprom Neft.0:23>> [music]0:23>> Ukrainian special operations forces0:26confirmed that long-range drones [music]0:28flew up to 3,000 km to reach it,0:31crossing the entire width of central0:33Russia [music]0:34and overwhelming multiple layers of air0:36defense.0:37Russian Su-57 stealth fighters [music]0:39were scrambled over Omsk but failed to0:41intercept the incoming drones.0:44The strike hit the refinery's most0:45critical component, [music]0:47the ELOUAVT-110:49primary crude oil processing unit0:51[music] with a design capacity of 8.40:53million metric tons of crude per year.0:56Without it, the rest of the refinery0:58cannot function.1:00NASA [music] satellite sensors detected1:02multiple fire hotspots at the site in1:04the hours after the attack. Omsk sits1:06nearly [music] 3,000 km from the1:09Ukrainian border, farther than Kyiv to1:11London.1:12This is the deepest strike of the war1:15and it shatters the assumption that1:16distance alone could protect Russia's1:18critical infrastructure.1:21The Omsk [music] refinery is not just1:23any target. Here is why this strike is a1:26genuine inflection point. First, [music]1:29it processes nearly 500,000 barrels a1:32day, a tenth of Russia's entire refining1:35capacity.1:36Second, it supplies more than half the1:38motor fuel for the entire Siberian1:41Federal District, [music]1:42including jet fuel and diesel essential1:44to the Russian military.1:46>> [music]1:46>> Third, it is the only facility in Russia1:49that produces the catalytic cracking1:51catalysts that other domestic refineries1:53depend on, meaning damage here could1:55cascade across the [music] entire1:57refining network and critically this was1:59the last of Russia's 11 largest gasoline2:01producing refineries that Ukraine had2:03not [music] yet struck. Every single one2:05has now been targeted.2:08President Zelensky confirmed the2:10operation was carried out [music] by2:11upgraded fire point drones praising the2:14special operations forces who pulled it2:16off. Zooming out, the scale of the2:19damage is staggering. All 11 of Russia's2:22major gasoline refineries have now been2:24struck. Ukraine has disabled more than2:2640% of Russia's total refining capacity2:29since the [music] deep strike campaign2:31began.2:32Fuel shortages are already a reality in2:34roughly 30% of Russian regions.2:37>> [music]2:37>> And remember, roughly a third of2:39Russia's state budget comes from oil and2:42gas.2:43>> [music]2:43>> The very revenue stream Ukraine is now2:45systematically dismantling.2:47>> [music]2:48>> A target in Siberia nearly 3,000 km from2:52the launch point sends [music] an2:53unmistakable message. No part of2:56Russia's energy infrastructure is beyond2:58reach.2:59>> [music]2:59>> The Kremlin's war machine runs on oil3:01revenue and Ukraine has now taken the3:03fight [music] directly to its economic3:05engine. We will be tracking the damage3:07assessments as they come in.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDex
