Ukrainian suicide drones have again bombed the "significant" oil pipeline in Russia's Bryansk region, which mainly delivers oil to European countries such as Hungary, and the oil transport has now been interrupted.
In fact, since the war broke out, European countries have never stopped buying Russian oil and natural gas, because Russian oil and gas are discounted, and although European countries verbally refused, they were honest with their actions. Even American companies import Russian oil and liquefied natural gas and then resell them to European countries. For countries that use Russian oil, it is unavoidable, because on one hand, Russian oil is discounted, and on the other hand, the refineries have already adapted to refining Russian oil. If they were to switch to American shale oil, it would require a large investment to replace facilities and reconfigure them.
The Ukrainian attack on this oil pipeline is a retaliation for Russia bombing Ukraine's energy infrastructure, but the damage is done to Europe. Previously, Russian forces conducted a large-scale bombing of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, most of which involved cooperation with the Azerbaijani oil company. However, the attack on this pipeline does not have much impact on Russia, because there are large buyers for Russian oil at discounted prices, and many European countries also smuggle Russian oil. With such a big discount, as long as it is taken back to the refinery, it can make a huge profit.
