Ukraine struck Russia’s largest oil refinery, located in the city of Omsk, on Monday, marking what its forces say was its furthest-ever drone attack in the war.
The Omsk facility, which processes about 21 million tons of oil a year, is in Western Siberia and about 1,700 miles from Ukrainian territory — roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Houston.
What? No it hasn’t.
Trump cut American aid. Russian win? Nope what Russia really wanted was for Trump to make Ukraine agree to a peace that included ceding territory to Russia. Trump could only do that by leveraging American aid. Which is gone now because Trump is stupid and easily angered.
And what Russia REALLY didn’t want was for it’s delicate rusting oil industry to be dismantled by a Ukraine who is no longer being held back by American aid conditions.
