      @Wim said in The Ukraine war thread:

      Aeroflot in trouble

      https://www.kyivpost.com/post/29805

      from the article:

      While Teheran is also sanctioned, at least (from Aeroflot’s perspective) it is able to get its hands on either smuggled or counterfeit components and keep at least some of its foreign aircraft flying.

      I wonder why it would be easier for Iran to get airplane parts than Russia?

            US allegedly cautions Ukraine about targeting Russian oil refineries:

            https://www.kyivpost.com/post/29929

            FT is a reliably credible source. Will have to see how this plays out over time. Don’t see how hitting Russian refineries affects the global price all that much. Russia primarily produces refined fuel for its own domestic use. About 24% of refined product including LNG is exported - primarily to Turkey, Brazil, China and India. Some is also exported to Belarus. FWIW, the Kremlin has been cutting its oil production during the last several months. That would have an impact on oil prices, not taking out refineries.

            Elbows up!

                                    I'd concentrate on the refineries. Oil and gas are Russia's economic lifeblood.

                                      Good point. Somewhere, perhaps in a link I posted a while ago, there was a comment that Ukraine's attacks on the refineries has cut Russian oil processing by 13% or so.

                                      I also saw a story that the Biden administration has cautioned that Ukraine should not strike targets outside its borders.
