"The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) hit russia’s largest oil-loading port on the Baltic Sea, 'Primorsk', with strike drones. As a result, oil shipments have been temporarily halted", - a source in the security service told Suspilne.
According to the source, as a result of the SBU drone attack, fires broke out on one of the ships in the port and at a pumping station, and oil shipments were suspended.
The SBU also struck a number of oil pumping stations in russia — “NPS-3”, “Andreapol” and “NPS-7”. These are key elements of the main pipeline system that supplies crude oil to the port of “Ust-Luga”.
The SBU attacks are causing disruptions in oil supplies from russia, which is damaging the russian economy, which relies on oil, the source said.
Thus, the SBU believes that around 60 million tons of oil pass through the "Primorsk" port annually, bringing russia roughly 15 billion dollars per year.
