Two major oil refineries tied to Russian crude exploded within 24 hours in Eastern Europe. In Hungary, a blast hit the MOL refinery supplied via the Druzhba pipeline. In Romania, the Lukoil-owned Petrotel plant (2.5M tons/year) also suffered an explosion.

I can't see Ukraine doing it...they are angling to join the EU as early as possible and an attack on an EU member would sink that. Tho...invoking Article 5 would be a cleaver way to get NATO forces in theater...

Sabotage is a two way street 😂 . Russians are learning the lessons. And Orban will become so annoyed, that he will, as usual, request further funds from EU because of the loss of revenues 😂. Blackmail to come again from Orban.

I was thinking about that, but russia is not lacking crude oil, they are lacking refining capacity to process their crude oil. So it deserves them on this level. But it serves them to blame Ukraine in public opinions of EU countries and for Orban reelection campaign.

Same day, a coordinated attack. Neither confers any benefit to Ukraine, particularly since Romania supports Ukraine in real terms. Personally I suspect this to be the first stage of of a process designed to justify Orban declaring martial law leading up to the election with Romania a deception.
