此外,乌克兰军队正持续朝俄罗斯炼油厂发动袭。根据 X 平台 @ChuckPfarrer 的消息指出,位于俄罗斯萨马拉地区、距离边境达
800 公里的锡兹兰炼油厂遭到乌克兰精准打击,该炼油厂随即陷入一片火海。据悉,该厂每年加工高达 900
万吨原油,主要为俄罗斯空军与占领军提供燃料。

与此同时,俄罗斯斯塔夫罗波尔地区米海洛夫斯克的一座油库,也遭到乌克兰无人机击中。据 X 平台 @Osinttechnical
的消息称,空袭导致现场多个燃料箱燃起熊熊烈火并引发二次爆炸,巨大火势从远处清晰可见。值得注意的是,该座油库在两天前就曾遭到过乌克兰无人机的袭击。
乌军持续不断的“断油”战术显然已对俄国本土的民生与后勤造成冲击。根据 X 平台 @bayraktar_1love
发布的画面显示,在俄罗斯奔萨地区,当地居民在加油站排队时,因加油权限受限、插队等问题爆发了大规模的群殴冲突。报导指出,随着乌军对能源设施的打击加剧,类似因燃料危机而导致的混乱场面,在俄罗斯全国境内已变得越来越普遍。

He used to write a weekly column in a Chinese daily on local futures markets. A self confessed stern supporter of the Far Right and nothing apologetically about it.
