At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity is at a halt following Ukrainian drone attacks, a disputed attack on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations based on market data.
The shutdown is the most severe oil supply disruption in the modern history of Russia, the world's second largest oil exporter, and has hit Moscow just as oil prices exceeded $100 a barrel due to the Iran war.
Weird.
Oil prices are under strain and are trying to leap thru the roof. Meanwhile Ukraine takes this moment in time to hurt the consumers of their allies by putting a stranglehold on what is available by attacking Russian oil production?
They're not even hitting us Americans the worst though.
They're hitting their own cheerleaders in the EU the most.
I read reports that the EU countries were considering buying Russian oil to help their citizens weather the storm. Hell some are already proposing subsidizes to help people in their homes.
So why now?
So many targets to hit why hit oil facilities?
