The BSS commander said that due to the attacks by the Ukrainian military, Russia's oil exports have decreased by 2.5 million barrels per day. There are only a month's worth of free storage tanks left.
Decrease in Russian oil exports
According to the Commander of the SSF Magyar, In the first half of the year, the Defence Forces' attacks on facilities in the Leningrad region and the Yaroslavl refinery led to a reduction in Russian oil exports by 2.5 million barrels per day.
This has significantly affected Russia's ability to export oil and generate budget revenues. The main reason is the damage to key infrastructure facilities.
Limited storage capacity
Magyar stressed that Russia has only one month's worth of free oil storage tanks left. If the effective strikes continue, Russia will be forced to reduce refining and buy its own fields.
This could lead to the shutdown of some oil refineries and have a negative impact on the country's budget.
Context.
The Ukrainian Defence Forces regularly strike at strategic Russian targets to reduce the enemy's military and economic potential. Damage to oil refining infrastructure makes it difficult for Russia to export energy resources and reduces budget revenues.
