(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported by sources in the SSU.

Prymorsk is a key hub for loading the shadow fleet, which the Russian Federation uses to circumvent international sanctions and sell oil on foreign markets.

About 60 million tons of oil pass through the port each year, bringing Russia approximately USD 15 billion.

As a result of a successful attack by SSU drones on one of the ships in the port and on the pumping station, fires broke out and oil shipments were suspended.

The estimated daily losses to the Russian budget from the suspension of exports could amount to USD 41 million.

The SSU also struck a number of Russian oil pumping stations - NPS-3, NPS“Andreapol,” and NPS-7.

They are key elements of the main pipeline system that supplies crude oil to the port terminal of Ust-Luga.

"The SSU was the first to systematically introduce so-called drone sanctions against the Russian oil industry. They block the flow of petrodollars into the aggressor's budget. And since the Russian economy is based on oil, each such“Cotton” hits their ability to wage war against our state. These sanctions will continue until a just peace comes to Ukraine," said an informed source in the SSU.

As reported by Ukrinform, the fuel crisis in Russia, which began after Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refinerie , has spread to 20 regions and some Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.
