On the night of August 18, units of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, in coordination with other components of the Defense Forces, struck the "Nikolskoye" oil pumping station (Tambov region, russia).
As a result of the strike, a fire broke out at the facility. Oil pumping through the "Druzhba" main pipeline was completely halted.
The "Nikolskoye" station is part of russia’s economic infrastructure and is involved in supplying the occupiers’ forces.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces continue systematically reducing russia’s military-economic potential to achieve the complete cessation of armed aggression against Ukraine.
More to come…
Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Couple of days ago iirc contract for oil (or gas?) transit expired, and neither Ukraine or russia wanted to extend it. Neither also wanted to go to arbitrage court, and that's why contract was allowed to expire and wasn't broken when hostilities started
