Ukrainian drones have attacked oil pumping stations, Kiev speaks of income losses

Ukrainian drones have attacked several fuel stations along the Kuibyshev–Tikhoretsk oil pipeline, which is an important route for Russian oil exports via the port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea.

The attacks took place in the Russian regions of Volgograd and Samara, as confirmed by a representative of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).

According to him, this is a targeted strategy aimed at limiting Russia's financial flows from oil sales, one of the main sources of funding for the war.

At the same time, Kiev hinted that similar actions would continue.
