In addition to attacks on oil facilities, Russia has suffered losses from the shutdown of the Druzhba pipeline and the seizure of tankers by Europe and the United States.
Moscow has lost 40% of its oil revenues due to a number of factors, one of which is Ukrainian drone attacks on enemy oil refineries, oil terminals, and other facilities that enable this business.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Reuters.

Russia is facing the most significant disruption to its oil exports in modern history – key ports, pipelines, and tankers have come under attack from the aggressor.
At least 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity is currently halted. This has occurred due to Ukrainian drone attacks, resulting in damage to infrastructure and logistical issues, according to calculations by Reuters.
This amounts to approximately 2 million barrels per day – a significant portion of the supplies from one of the largest oil exporters in the world.
What happened
Ukraine has recently intensified strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure. All three main western export ports of the country have come under attack – for example, Novorossiysk, Primorsk, and Ust-Luga.
Additionally, a tanker carrying Russian oil was recently detained by the United States. Washington has taken retaliatory measures.
Interestingly, even the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which was expected to increase Russia’s oil profits, did not affect these figures.
