“The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense announces the disabling of the Russian oil pipeline “Kiltsevei” in the Moscow region. According to the report, the place of successful decommissioning of the critical military infrastructure facility is located on the territory of the Ramen district of the Moscow region. “The anti-drone net and the “protection” of the enemy object by military security did not help – all three threads, which the aggressor used to transport gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, exploded successfully and simultaneously. The oil product pipeline is out of order,” said the message published in the telegram. The GUR states that this operation is “a serious blow to the military capabilities of the aggressor state, as well as to its economy, in particular in the Moscow region.” Ukrainian intelligence reminds that the length of the main oil pipeline “Kiltsevey” is 400 kilometers, and the fuel for transportation through the pipeline came from the Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow oil refineries. Annually, the oil pipeline was able to pump up to 3 million tons of aviation fuel, up to 2.8 million tons of diesel fuel, and up to 1.6 million tons of gasoline. RFE/RL cannot independently verify this data. After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, combat drones regularly fly into Russian regions, resulting in destruction and casualties. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that the attacks are being carried out from the Ukrainian side. Kyiv claimed that the strikes on Russia were aimed at military, energy and transport infrastructure, which are key to Moscow’s war effort. Russian authorities almost never report the full extent of damage caused by Ukrainian strikes.”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
