With more Ukrainian UAV types entering service, e.g. the Flamingo missile, it is only a question of time until Ukrainian forces will target this pipeline system.

It is made up by several dozens of pump stations and hubs, distributed over the length of more than 5,000 km (3,000 miles), including the Vyborg/Ust Luga line. It is impossible to protect all facilities.

People frequently ask what cards Ukraine has and I point to this case. Russia's large size, which in the past was an advantage, has turned into the exact opposite.

Economic lifelines can be cut at multiple points and with devastating effects, especially when reflecting that Russia failed to divers its economy. It is an economic monoculture firmly based on energy.

Pipelines, refineries, storages and ports can be cut of and when necessary be directly destroyed. Russia has only three major ports where oil can be loaded fast and those are Ust-Luga, Novorossiysk and Tuapse. If those are taken out, then Russia can neither make money nor supply its (war) economy.

So that's maybe why we haven't seen those birds in the skies yet: they are getting ready for their migration to their three winter habitats in Russia by the sea.

Targeting Russia's energy infrastructure is the most efficient way to lead Russia's economy into its downfall, and by extension the war. The Soviet Union and its dissolution was caused by an high military budget and falling revenues from energy exports.

Once Moscow wasn't able to continue its aggression, the whole house of cards collapsed. The war in Afghanistan ended with a devastating Russian defeat and the peoples in the Soviet Union were in open rebellion.

Neither the Soviet Army nor the Soviet intelligence services were able to contain the will for freedom. Soviet-Russia instantly lost the Cold War and ceased to exist. It was the greatest achievement in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

As I have said numerous times, no negotiations will yield peace, in the contrary. Since the beginning of this year, Russia's terrorist attacks have sharply increased thanks to appeasement.

Depends on the type of negotiations. Ukraine should negotiate using Flamingos.

Russia only understands the language of force. Eliminating Russia's energy sector is exactly that kind of language which will resonate in Moscow, because it not only threatens the survival of the regime but Russia itself.

That s why USA has asked Ukraine before "don t attack these refineries"... And I think Ukraine still can not do what she wants... There are still so many refineries that are not destroyed... Why....

Well said. It’s taken until now for Ukraine to do this relentlessly and systematically without western missiles. And at a fraction of the rip off cost America charges. It’s the way to finish this invasion

Ukraine will and likely can cause significant damage to Russia's energy sector. The question is naturally how long will it take for this to translate to real world effects? For Russian society and the Russian military

Hit the near ends of the trans-Siberian oil pipelines, forcing them to be shut down. Do this right before the winter freeze so that they can't be repaired below the freeze. Without moving oil the pipelines freeze along great lengths of pipe, creating breaks that take twenty years to repair.

Thanks to its rich natural resources and clever scientists, the USSR/Russia had the chance to become a prosperous country. Instead, the money disappeared somewhere. Master strategist Putin also believes that stopping North Stream with gas for Germanywas a good idea. Kaboom!

Soviet union rebelled, driven by member states like Ukraine. russians never showed agency then nor now. I don’t believe they will topple the cleptocratic genocidal vertical of power. If they do, i fully support the breakup of the fake russian federation into individual nation states.
