Ukrainian drone strike hits Moscow's Kapotnya oil refinery, two killed
🔥🔥 BREAKING: A major fire is burning at Moscow’s Kapotnya oil refinery following reports of a Ukrainian drone strike. The facility is Moscow’s only oil refinery and has a capacity of roughly 280,000 barrels per day. Another significant hit to Russia’s already strained refining system.
I hate the damage to our environment from these attacks. I also understand that Ukraine has no choice. 😢
You mean it had a capacity of 280,000 barrels a day
I love this for them.
Don't ya hate it when that happens? Somebody posted a chart yesterday showing that Ukraine's attacks on Russia didn't change gas prices, while Trump's Epstein Distraction has led to the current price spike. But I wouldn't mind paying more so Russia gets what it deserves.
And here is what Trump thinks of this, while not caring about his own country www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Moscows only refinery, now a bonfire. That is Ukraines long-range sanctions policy working exactly as intended: no vote, no veto, just heat.
More bad news for gas prices! 👇👇👇 #Blues
So cool to watch everyone destroy our planet. I get that this is good for Ukraine but this is absolutely horrible for the atmosphere and climate change. I really just wish the entire human race would disappear.
🔥🛢️BREAKING: A large-scale drone attack targeted Moscow and the Moscow region overnight, on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections. One of the most notable targets was the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, where a major fire is visible this morning.
/2. The refinery has a processing capacity of around 12 million tonnes of oil per year. It was last heavily struck on June 16 and 18, the refinery was forced to shut down. By August, it had reportedly managed to restart at only around one-third of capacity. Now it has been hit again.
Ballot day, refinery day. The Kremlin stages a vote and Ukraine delivers the only result that counts.
what air defence doing eh???
Not an expert, but is that now how a Russian oil refinery normally looks?
Way to go Ukraine!!! 👏
How much longer before Russia does what russia does and overthrows the current status quo through citizen revolution?
this is some fucking cinematic shit
That's pretty damn spicy Moscow.
The fact that Ukraine is *still* focused solely on targeting military/support infrastructure, and has not stooped to Putin's level in committing war crimes against civilians continues to be very impressive to me. It takes a lot of discipline to not return in kind.
I have close friends in Ukraine. I have thrice been to Ukraine during the war. I've had missiles exploding near me. I've had many Russian friends, though few now due to the war. I would celebrate if the Kremlin went up in flames. bsky.app/profile/spec...
An everyday occurrence until Putin is gone.
What do we want? We want Moscow to burn. The whole of fokking Russia shall burn until the last genocidal aggressor has left Ukraine.
In June I did a calculation of the downstream environmental and harm of a strike on a refinery like this, and I’ll repost it here: The Moscow Oil Refinery processes 12M tonnes of crude a year, ≈ 240,000 barrels a day. It's in a residential area, with people living within 500m of the tanks.
If 1-3 large tanks were hit, between 10,000 and 30,000 tonnes of product were involved. Roughly 60-80% of that burns. The rest just spills. The combustion of the event alone would have released an estimated 19,000–75,000 tonnes of CO₂.
it blows my mind that in the last five years somehow we've all given up whatever ghost there was on climate change just so we could make data centers and make energy infrastructure into legitimate targets. anyone who supports blowing up refineries is ontologically evil
The true cost of war is very rarely realized. Great thread right here.
