A major Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s Ust-Luga port, sparking a fire at the NOVATEK gas-condensate plant.

Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s key western export hubs for oil products and condensate on the Baltic, used to move large volumes to foreign markets.

Ust-Luga handles around 700,000 barrels per day of oil exports and exported 32.9 million metric tons of oil products last year.

This was a deep strike, roughly 1,000 km from Ukrainian territory in some estimates.

It shows Ukraine can still reach strategic infrastructure near the Gulf of Finland and close to the Estonian border.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 40% of Russian #oil exports are currently stopped after Ukraine attacked the Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk crude oil ports.

Combine this with multiple Russian refineries hit, oil tankers seized by West, and Druzbha pipeline remaining closed, this is sending major shockwaves in the global oil market. #Energy #Geopolitics

January: the US removes Maduro from Venezuela, cutting off Cuba’s primary oil lifeline of 100,000 barrels per day. Same month, Trump warns tariffs on any country that sells Cuba oil. Mexico slashes deliveries 73%. Russia sends two symbolic tanker loads all year.

Result: zero oil tankers have reached Cuba since January 9th.

Cuba consumes about 112,000 barrels of oil per day. It produces 30,000 domestically. That 82,000 barrel daily gap is now unfilled, and the effects are cascading through every layer of Cuban society.

The grid collapsed March 4. Collapsed again March 16. Collapsed again March 21. Three total nationwide blackouts in three weeks, each leaving all 11 million people without power for days.

Here’s what “totally dark” actually means on the ground. Hospitals canceling surgeries. Refrigerators dying, so families buy food daily because nothing keeps. Water pumps shut off, meaning no running water in homes.

Absolute apocalypse !!!
