Summary
A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.
The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.
Why do you think that? You haven’t given a reason.
You asking to make a bet is just a stupid way to act like you’re the one with power. We both know this is an internet forum where we’re never going to pay the other no matter who wins. Stop behaving like a child. I know how this works.
I case you forgot by the time you read this, there’s a question at the top of this comment.
Because there’s no reason for it to happen anytime soon.
This has nothing to do with power, it is about putting money where your mouth is, which shouldn’t be a problem if you are confident in what you’re saying. I would pay up if I lost the bet, are you saying you wouldn’t pay up if you lost a bet?

There’s plenty of reasons it would happen soon. I listed them above.
I’m not giving you, or anyone else, information linking to my person, so no I wouldn’t pay. I wouldn’t make a bet.
Your reasons are just your opinion. One can look at most countries and come up with opinions why there might possibly eventually maybe be a regime change sometime in the undefined future.
Russia has finished retaking Kursk today, they are not in a bad situation.
In case you are not aware, there are ways to bet without the need to exchange any information linking to each other.
They are not opinions. They are facts. Whether they lead to something, who knows. The fact they’re real is not in question by anyone reasonable. Whether you like it is an opinion.
Russia is in a really bad situation. Then retaking Kursk doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t change that the Ruble is in a pretty serious downward trend, although this is being temporarily protected against by the government but it’ll hit harder when they can’t anymore. Their payments to soldiers families are being held back as much as possible, which is a major factor for keeping people complacent and also boosting their economy. They’ve lost more soldiers than the UK did in WWII. Also, they’re losing ground near Pokrovsk, which is actually strategically important. Kursk was not, except to hurt Russia’s ego because they lie about everything, but can’t really lie about that. It doesn’t cut off any supply routes (for either side) and the one thing it did have is an oil distribution pipeline, which probably doesn’t function now and you don’t need people there to damage that.
Well, I guess the future will let us know soon enough if you’re right.
