Ukraine War: Jets, Drones and Refineries
European nations are stepping up to the plate by supporting Ukraine, especially with the United States being politically divided, particularly within the American Republican party being against supporting Ukraine.
If the Russians can claim any success during the Ukraine war since 2022 and that Ukraine has been in a state of conflict since Russia took the Crimea peninsula and eastern Ukraine in 2014, it is that the Russians, using misinformation campaigns, successfully turned the American right into a pro-Russian force within American politics.
The Scandinavian nation of Norway has decided to send F-16s to Ukraine and is joining Denmark, the Netherlands and a host of other European countries in sending military aid regarding resources to Ukraine.
The most critical shift in aid sent to Ukraine is that it is intended to be used on Russian infrastructure and military units within the Russian border.
It is estimated that using drone technology, the Ukrainian military has successfully damaged and attacked 50% of Russia’s oil refineries and other critical infrastructure related to the export of oil as well as its refining process.
This is a crucial hit against the Russian Federation because 50% of state revenue comes from oil.
