I'm just an armchair general and I'm not saying anything original

But

#Ukraine can really screw up #Russia and move the needle on the frozen conflict:

Pound, pound, pound the refineries

Hard to repair, #Russian AA can't cover them all, and #Ukrainian long range strike capabilities are surging with Ukraine's new Flamingo #cruiseMissile and a big increase in #drone production

New satellite images from Dnipro Osint show the western section of the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in ruins, with up to 16 storage tanks either heavily damaged or completely destroyed by fire. FIRMS data shows no active fires now, suggesting the blaze has either been extinguished or burned itself out.
