How Ukraine is CRUSHING Russia's Oil Empire

In this video, I break down exactly what’s happening and why it matters: • Crimea on fire: Ukraine’s SSO turned a Russian fuel train at Dzhankoi into a rolling inferno. The same city where they previously smashed an S-400 system. Crimea is looking less like a fortress and more like target practice. • Refineries burning: Strikes in Rostov, Ryazan, Volgograd, Saratov, and beyond have knocked out an estimated 10% of Russia’s refining capacity, sending fuel prices skyrocketing and forcing rationing in places like Siberia. • The domino effect: Nineteen trains delayed in Voronezh, power outages across Russian regions, and fuel shortages hitting both civilians and the military. A $30,000 Ukrainian drone taking out a $50 million refinery isn’t only tactics, it’s economic warfare at scale. • The propaganda gap: Russia claims it “intercepts every drone.” Meanwhile, videos show fireballs lighting up the night sky, smoke plumes visible from orbit, and locals filming the carnage
