Former platoon commander of the Aidar battalion, scholar, publicist Yevhen Dykyi believes that russia may use the energy sector as a means of pressure on Ukraine, offering to stop attacks on the energy sector in exchange for the inviolability of its refineries.

He spoke about this on Espresso

"We found a place to hit. At first, there was this gorgeous throw-in that "oh, oh, oh, the United States is not free" - nothing, we don't care now, we saw that it works, sanctions from Budanov are much more effective than sanctions from Biden, we will continue them," the publicist said.

Dykyi emphasized that oil refineries across russia on fire cannot be hidden, even in their information space because it is impossible to hide it.

"It was urgent to show that: "well, okay, we missed a couple of drones somewhere, who doesn't, but after that we just rolled these Khokhols, no one will get away with it." This is one aspect, and the second is that they are most likely sending us signals through some closed channels: "stop touching our oil and then we will leave your energy in peace". This is a kind of exchange, and we should not make this exchange in any case. We will endure, we will kill ourselves, but we need to finish off this weak spot that we have smeared in them," summed up the former platoon commander of the Aidar battalion.
  • Last week, russia continued to burn down oil refineries; oil refineries, and dozens of drones were flying over russian regions almost every day, hitting various targets.
  • On March 23, it became known that residents of Novokuybyshevsk, Samara region, reported a fire near a rosneft oil refinery after a drone strike. Ukrainian intelligence reported an "incident".
  • A video of an alleged Ukrainian drone attack on the Kuybyshev oil refinery in russian Samara, which took place on the morning of March 23, has appeared.
