SSU arranged attacks on two refineries in the Russian Krasnodar region

According to Liga.net, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) attacked two oil refineries in Russia at once.

What is essential to understand is that they are talking about the Ilsky and Afipsky refineries in the Krasnodar Territory.

According to journalists insiders, a large-scale fire broke out at the Ilsky Refinery.

SSU drones managed to hit a primary processing plant with a capacity of 3.6 million tons annually. Without it, the enemy cannot produce diesel fuel for military needs.

In addition, it is emphasised that the cost of such an installation reaches about 50 million dollars

At the Afipsky plant, drones also worked well, but the consequences are being clarified.

Anonymous sources also note that both objects are located about 20 km from each other.

According to local publications, the Russians were even forced to raise planes into the sky, but this did not help to protect essential refineries.

Russia is a Goliath standing on jelly legs. We systematically cut them. And we will continue to do this in the future until Goliath falls, — notes Liga.net

Trump made a big mistake regarding Russia. Why it is dangerous for Ukraine

Trump did not calculate all the steps to maximize pressure on Russia
Source:  online.ua

US leader Donald Trump immediately refused to discuss Ukraine's accession to NATO, even though he could have used the issue during full-fledged negotiations with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's team. Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called it a major "negotiating mistake" by the White House.

Points of attention

  • Ukraine must actively fight for NATO membership.
  • Postponing the discussion of Ukraine's accession to NATO has already led to a loss of leverage in negotiations with Russia.

Trump did not calculate all the steps to maximize pressure on Russia

According to Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine must fight to the last for its membership in the Alliance, since politics is the art of the possible.

You just have to play the long game and if you give something away, it will be at a high price. I just don't see why you can sell the NATO issue from the point of view of benefit for Ukraine.

That is why, according to the Ukrainian diplomat, Trump and his team made a big "negotiating mistake" by immediately declaring that Ukraine's accession to NATO would have to be postponed.

According to Dmytro Kuleba, even if a decision had been made to remove the NATO topic from the discussion, at least it could have been "sold" to Putin.

But instead of selling it for something, they have essentially already started saying that it will have to be postponed. So why does Putin need to pay you anything if he already knows that you have already handed it over. Therefore, this is a purely negotiating mistake and, unfortunately, it will cost us dearly, — warned the former minister.
