Ukrainian kamikaze drone strikes have targeted Russia's major western oil export ports including Novorossiysk on the Black Sea and Primorsk and Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea, according to a ZeroHedge article citing Reuters. The attacks, which also hit pumping stations and refineries, are reported to have eliminated around 40% of Russia's oil export capacity or 2 million barrels per day within weeks, with the aim of reducing oil revenues that fund roughly one-quarter of Russia's state budget. Russia has diverted additional flows eastward, maintaining 1.9 million barrels per day to China via pipelines and Kozmino shipments plus smaller volumes to Sakhalin and Belarus. These disruptions, combined with separate Gulf energy shocks, are said to tighten global supply and support elevated crude prices with a geopolitical risk premium. The ZeroHedge piece questions whether the parallel conflicts degrading energy infrastructure across Eurasia signal broader global instability.
