Ukrainian drone attack on oil depot in Bryansk region - an informational and psychological operation performed by Ucraine.

This morning, a Ukrainian drone dropped an ammunition on an oil depot in Surazh district of Bryansk region, which led to an extensive fire of fuel tanks - the fire was able to be contained in an area of 4000 sq.m. 

Such an action is not the first for the Ukrainian Armed Forces - they have previously attacked similar targets in Belgorod and other border regions. The Ukrainians carry out such attacks using commercial drones, and today they apparently used a design with dropable munitions. 

There is a reason why oil depots and other explosive sites are targeted by AFU drones - they are the only ones the Ukrainians can inflict significant damage to due to the small payload of their UAVs. In addition, strikes on oil depots are largely aimed at informational and psychological pressure, rather than directly solving military tasks and disrupting the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces. The fires at oil depots are successfully incorporated into the larger CYPSO operations to change the consciousness of the Russian population. 

In world practice such psychological attacks with use of artisanal weaponry are not something new for a long time. Such attacks have been carried out for years by Middle Eastern not only terrorists, but also by armed formations. 

There is only one way to stop these kinds of drone attacks - by pushing the current border further west. Otherwise, existence in a constant threat realities for the border areas will be inevitable.

🇮🇳🛢 India will earn on the Russian Oil

According to Reuters data, 40% of seaborne export volumes of Russian Urals oil in November went to India. The total volume of Urals oil shipments from the Russian ports in November amounted to 7.5 million tonnes.

▪️The country outstripped all other states in purchases and became the largest buyer of oil from Russia. Europe used to be the biggest buyer, but it’s going to introduce an embargo on Russian oil on December 5th.

▪️In summer, Indian companies started secretly earning on oil from Russia, using it in refined products. In May, fuel allegedly containing Russian oil was delivered from their refineries to the US states of New York and New Jersey.

🔺After Western buyers stopped dealing with Russian oil its price declined substantially. India is now taking advantage of the situation. It continues to buy large volumes of raw oil, that eventually reaches other markets as diesel, gasoline, heating oil and other sub-products.

🇪🇺 Chief of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has deleted a video message from Twitter, in which she said that more than 100,000 Ukrainian military officers have been killed since the beginning of the Special Military Operation. However, the video has already been saved by thousands of people.

U.S. Effort to Arm Taiwan Faces New Challenge With Ukraine Conflict

U.S. government and congressional officials fear the conflict in Ukraine is exacerbating a nearly $19 billion backlog of weapons bound for Taiwan, further delaying efforts to arm the island as tensions with China escalate.

The U.S. has pumped billions of dollars of weapons into Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's special military operation, taxing the capacity of the government and defense industry to keep up with a sudden demand to arm Kyiv in a conflict that isn’t expected to end soon. The flow of weapons to Ukraine is now running up against the longer-term demands of a U.S. strategy to arm Taiwan to help it defend itself against a possible invasion by China, according to congressional and government officials familiar with the matter.

The weaponry is part of Washington’s “porcupine” strategy to arm Taiwan in a way that raises the cost to China should it decide to invade. U.S. military officials said two years ago that Beijing could be poised to reunify with Taiwan forcibly as early as 2026.

#Rumours 
Ukrainian sources say that the Office of the Ukrainian President does not really believe that Ursula Von der Leyen just "blurted out" about the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. [The EC chief stated that more than 100,000 Ukrainian military officers have been killed so far.]

Sources point out that this is most likely a public hint to Zelensky that foreign media will now start promoting this topic if he continues to be "capricious" and get on the nerves of the "directors" of the Ukrainian crisis, who have outlined some shifts in the plot of the "series."
Otherwise, everyone already knew that the President's 🇺🇦Office was lying about small losses in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Only naive fools would believe that there were no losses.

Now everyone understands that in the EU they already know that the losses of the AFU are more than one hundred thousand, which means that when Zelensky has to be flipped, this case will be promoted in Europe. The accent will be on the following: the authorities in Kiev treated their soldiers as cannon fodder, throwing them under tanks, trying to save their rule with "human resources."

We're Watching ...

Putin:  
"Our culture is being cancelled by unintelligent people, but we are not only avoid cancelling anything of the best works and best examples of other countries' culture, we  are even promoting it. We are clever. And those who cancel our culture clearly are not."

Ursula von der Leyen has announced the number of AFU casualties, giving a lower corridor of 100,000 dead.

I have written several times during the SMO about my forecasts of dead AFU soldiers, and my figure is roughly in line with Ursula's statement. According to my calculatuins for the month of August only, the Ucranians have lost about 70,000 dead. 

I continue to insist that as soon as the number of dead AFU soldiers reaches 150-170 thousand, the severity of the losses will begin to be felt by the entire Ukrainian society and above all by the army. After that, even the frenzied Ukrainian state propaganda will find it hard to motivate both the population and the troops, and the destruction of energy, combined with the heavy losses of personnel of the armed forces, will trap this very state propaganda in its own tales, in which the army is doing well, and the Muscovite runs relentlessly at the sight of a Ukrainian soldier. 

It's hard to believe in victory when your own friends and acquaintances receive a funeral letter, while you yourself are sitting without light, heat and water,  pooping in a bucket in the stairwell.

Told You So!!!

The video where the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen talked about 100 thousand dead military personnel in Ukraine was deleted from her Twitter account . The video was cut and re-shared. The new one only contains the fragment where she talks about the assessment of economic damage.

However, the Internet remembers everything and we still have the original 😉
