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.

Am sure Putin will veto that..

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.

Gotta wonder how it evaded Russian radar for 800 miles.
Interesting:
Ukrainians just might have hit something more than a routine weapons factory. Could have a negative effect on the Kremlin in a large predominantly Muslim region.
