and oil refineries are large, complicated and very expensive targets

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With the know-how from western companies who have left no longer accessible, and sanctioned items no longer available, it might be quite complicated or impossible to fix a lot of things.

I heard of an intetesting idea which is that if you disable the pipeline (refining, transport) even for some months, you might have to stop the oil wells, and even if there were no sanctions and the knowledgeable people were around it might be impossible to get a well running again.

Slava Ukraine!
