Trump’s idea to stop shipment of Russian oil is to add tariffs to countries like India, which only results in driving India into China's sphere.
Apparently, the Ukrainians have figured out a lot more creative way to stop Russian oil shipments.
Putin kills women and children.
Zelensky kills refineries.
A few clips from The Economist:
Since the beginning of August, Ukraine has carried out over a dozen strikes on Russia’s oil-refining and distribution system, and the tempo shows no signs of flagging. The most recent were on refineries at Krasnodar and at Syzran, a city in Samara region, on August 30th. Both refineries, which have been hit many times, supply fuel to Russian military units ………
According to some estimates, up to 20% of Russia’s refining capacity has been taken out, at least temporarily: a loss of well over 1m barrels a day, mainly of petrol but also of diesel. Refineries that have been hit several times have suffered lasting damage. The destruction of the cracking units that break down crude oil into petrol, diesel and aviation fuel is hurting most, because they are difficult to replace under the sanctions regime.
