Thoughts on Rus-Ukr war updates.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Thank you Kings College for this screening – an absolutely brilliant 2017 film, somehow I missed it back then.

I genuinely love the humour and the satire, and can watch the Death of Stalin endlessly.

And I truly hope we’ll soon be able to watch the Death of Putin documentary just as many times.

More pictures of the destruction of the Novorossiysk oil export infrastructure have been released.

That blackened and charred pile of scrap metal highlighted in the image was formerly critical oil export measurement equipment.

Looks like exports will be stopped for a long time.

❤️🩹 Yesterday, a rescuer was extinguishing his own apartment after it was destroyed by a Russian drone in Kyiv.

Serhii arrived at the scene only to realize the burning apartment was his. Inside at the moment of the attack were his mother, his wife, his 5 y.o. son, and his 8-month-old daughter.

Confirmed: 4x S-400 launchers and 2x radars confirmed destroyed in the Novorossiysk strike.

SBU's Alpha unit conducted this strike, and there is a high chance that other air defence equipment nearby was damaged in the explosion and fire as well.

This is a big loss for Russia.🔥

Accurate.

Russian oil export capabilities have taken a major hit.

In October, Novorossiysk exported 761k barrels a day, 3.22 million tons for the month. This was 2% of global oil output. As of today, it's zero barrels a day.

Any guesses when Primorsk and Ust-Luga will be sanctioned?🔥🚫

A "historic" military aviation deal with France will be finalized soon - Zelenskyy.

New air defence systems and combat aircraft are expected to be received soon after this agreement is finalized.

What do you guys thing? Will it be Rafales? Or something else?🤔

According to latest reports, the Feodosia oil depot in occupied Crimea has been completely destroyed.

After the most recent attacks this week, all remaining storage capacity at the depot has been eliminated, and only damaged nonfunctional tanks remain.

Drone sanctions work.🔥

Russian oil and fuel exports are continuing to fall off a cliff.

Now consider that the Tuapse export terminal went offline last week, and the Novorossiysk export terminal got clobbered last night.

Add in US sanctions this month, and we can expect November to be diastrous.📉🫟

Russian economic collapse: thousands of transport companies going bankrupt or shutting down.

With an average fee of 74.7 rubles per km vs an average cost of 85-86 rubles per km, many companies are giving up and a supply shortage has appeared.

Falling apart, piece by piece.📉💥

A closer view of a small fire in Novorossiysk caused by intercepted drone debris, which will undoubtedly be put out soon with no damage.🔥

Video of drone sanctions which are currently being applied to an oil depot in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai.

With Tuapse still being closed for exports, damage to Novorossiysk oil infrastructure could cut Russian exports even further. 📉

Burn, baby, burn - depot inferno!🔥

🦩 BBC Earth presents: the migrating Ukrainian Flamingo, with David Attenborough.

See a flock of Ukrainian Flamingos migrating east for the winter. They will nest in oil refineries, ammo depots, and other suddenly-warm places throughout the Russian swamps.

Nature is beautiful🥹

Apparently one of the occupier's Su-27s has self-demilitarized along with its crew near Petrozavodsk in Karelia.

How very sad. 🥳

Say the line, Fighterbomber! Say the line!

The future of Lukoil is looking very grim due to US sanctions.

With over €14 billion in international assets subject to US sanctions which could be seized with no compensation, the remnants of Lukoil may be absorbed into state-controlled Rosneft.

And the collapse continues.📉

Russian oil exports crashing as buyers find oil elsewhere.

China is joining India and Brazil in cutting Russian oil, and Saudi Arabia has now replaced Russia as their top supplier of oil.

With oil piling up in tankers and exports dropping, oil wells may stop producing soon.📉🫟

Russian oil is piling up in shadow fleet tankers worldwide as buyers disappear.

With US sanctions cutting Russian oil purchases globally, an unprecedented 380 million barrels of oil is stuck in limbo on ships.

Port export volumes are dropping too, as the whole system collapses.

Russian oil revenue is burning up faster than the Feodosia oil depot.

Russian buyers are finding replacements: India is negotiating with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and Brazil is buying from the US and India.

But don't call it a collapse 🤫 it triggers @darthputinkgb.bsky.social tankies.

Video released by 14th UAS Regiment showing 2 fuel tanks at Feodosia receiving drone sanctions this week.

Before this attack, there were less than 10 undamaged tanks left at the depot.

Fuel is becoming very scarce in occupied Crimea as more rounds of sanctions are applied.🔥

Video of the Stavrolen plant in Budennovsk, Stavropol Krai, lighting up the night sky after drone sanctions were applied.

The Gas Processing Plant, shown in this video, had a small¹ fire which caused no² damage after being intercepted³.

¹ large
² significant
