Politico: Ukraine Has Found Its Own Way To Force Putin To The Negotiating Table

As early as this fall.

Ukraine's drones have been hitting the Kremlin's oil infrastructure hard for 8 months. As a result, many refineries are idle due to maintenance work. As a result, there is a domestic shortage of oil products. The West has repeatedly said that only pressure on the Russian economy can force Putin to the negotiating table, according to the resource Politico.

Three European politicians said that Western sanctions plus Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries could lead to the desired result. Experts say it is difficult to estimate the damage Ukrainian drones are doing to Russian refineries. At the same time, approximately 15 to 20 percent are put out of service in 2025. As a result, the Kremlin banned gasoline exports.

Ukraine has been hitting Russian refineries for not the first year, but their methodicality plus Western sanctions are still taking their toll. Former British intelligence officer Philippe Ingraham said Budanov actively promotes tactics that can be called "a key part of warfare."

Ukraine's chief intelligence officer pulled out a tactics textbook from World War II and adapted it to modern warfare. As a result, Kiev is destroying everything that can supply the front from the enemy's side.

Ingraham is confident that for now, the Russian economy is still afloat. However, in 12-18 months, the picture will be different if Ukraine does not stop hitting refineries.

An analyst from Kpler Homayun Falakshahi said that such strikes deprive the Kremlin of finances. At the same time, many Russian refineries will go on forced vacation as early as September to carry out technical work at the plants. This fact will further aggravate the shortage of oil products in Russia.

General Director of "Nadiya for Ukraine" Yuriy Boyechko believes that already this fall Putin may sit down at the negotiating table. At the same time, Brussels is already preparing the 19th package of sanctions against Russia.
