you actually contributed anything rather than just shitting on everything that supports Ukraine, then maybe somebody would respect you and whatever vague opinions you may have, for now
I think I've made it pretty clear I don't care about the respect of people who cuck themselves out for a foreign country, be that Ukraine or Russia
Sorry different viewpoints trigger you so much. I hear there is a new Paw Patrol movie coming out this weekend if you want to be around people with a similar level of emotional intelligence as you.

Word is they are making a killing in wheat.

Their wheat exports peaked in 2023 at about 55 million MT. When they stole Ukraine's harvest.
Now they're down to about 45 million MT projected for 2026. And if the fuel and fertilizer situation stays bad this winter, they're looking at 40 million MT for 2027.
But "Russia is making a killing on wheat exports"
Sure. If down 20% is making a killing. Then, yeah.
ETA: what they are making a killing at is Gold. They're pretty much getting railed in every commodity out there. Except gold prices are up and Russian gold production is up. So they're doing well there

Leningrad region again, waiting for more images.

Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga was attacked by drones overnight, triggering a fire at the port.
Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s major export hubs, handling large volumes of crude oil and petroleum products. Its oil terminal alone can handle around 700,000 barrels per day. Waiting for satellite imagery.

Please sweet eleven pound Jesus... Waiting for the FIRMS.

Ukrainian serviceman and political commentator Kyrylo Sazonov claims HUR destroyed a Russian military train carrying North Korean KN-23/KN-24 ballistic missiles and ammunition on the Trans-Siberian Railway, more than 6,000 km from Ukraine. Sazonov says remotely controlled explosives were used against the tracks and train, triggering secondary detonations that destroyed the echelon and damaged the railway. Ukraine’s HUR has not officially confirmed the operation.

Satellite images establish targeting accuracy and strategy.
quote:
On the night of August 8, 2026, as part of efforts to reduce Russia’s military and economic potential, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Syzran Oil Refinery, part of Rosneft’s refining complex.
The following units were reportedly hit:
AVT-5 — primary crude oil processing, separating crude into its main fractions.
AVT-6 — primary atmospheric-vacuum crude distillation.
43-102 Catalytic Cracking Unit, Block II — converts heavy petroleum fractions into lighter products, including gasoline and gas components.
PGI-DIG/280 — produces high-octane components for automotive gasoline.
L-35/11-600 — catalytic reforming of gasoline fractions and production of high-octane components.
KAS — a process unit for the treatment and stabilization of hydrocarbon streams.
Separately, a smokestack was reported to have collapsed onto the L-35/11-600 unit following a drone strike. The structure fell directly onto the unit, causing significant damage. According to a preliminary assessment, L-35/11-600 has been knocked out of operation for an indefinite period. This is already the second similar refinery strike this month in which the Ukrainian Defense Forces reportedly targeted not just a single primary processing unit, as was more common previously, but an entire technological chain — from primary crude processing to secondary refining and the production of high-octane fuel components.

Petrochemical complex in Russia's Tobolsk shuts down after drone attack — Reuters
LINK
quote:
The ZapSibNeftekhim petrochemical complex in Tobolsk, Tyumen Region, Russia, has been shut down indefinitely following a drone attack. Ukrinform reports this citing Reuters, which referred to three industry sources.
According to one of the agency's sources, the facility was shut down indefinitely "while the ?extent of the damage and its consequences ?are being assessed."
On Tuesday, no volumes of liquefied gas for shipment from the Tobolsk loading point were offered for sale on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX). Earlier in 2026, approximately 4,000 metric tons per day of a technical propane-butane mixture (LPG) were regularly sold from this location.
quote:
According to industry sources, ZapSibNeftekhim produces approximately 6 million metric tons of liquefied gas annually, accounting for about 40% of Russia's total LPG production.
Market participants noted that approximately half of the LPG produced at the facility is consumed as feedstock for petrochemical production at Sibur's integrated complex in Tobolsk.
As Ukrinform previously reported, on August 10, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck the TobolskNeftekhim petrochemical plant in Tobolsk, Tyumen Region, Russian Federation.

LPG is not just for gas grills and rural use in stoves and water heaters. It's feedstock for some ethylene crackers and petrochemicals. Shiploads sail constantly from mostly Texas

LPG, you referring to Liquified Propane Gas, or Liquified Petroleum Gas, Maybe Liquified Natural Gas
so confusing

Former UCC guy should know something about olefins units. LNG isn't a feedstock, a fuel, but not feedstock

Pocket to the west of Lyman is getting tighter. If Ukraine can close it it's going to be interesting to see how many Russian infantry and equipment get trapped in it.

Ok more from Ust Luga -
quote:
Exilenova+ satellite analysis shows Ukraine’s August 14 strike on NOVATEK Ust-Luga hit a stable gas-condensate fractionation unit and a combined hydrocracking unit. The complex is more than a terminal: it converts condensate into higher-value products including light and heavy naphtha, jet fuel, gasoil, marine fuel components and LPG. In 2022, it produced around 6.8 million tonnes of marketable products, including 1.05 million tonnes of jet fuel and 1.49 million tonnes of gasoil and marine fuel components

On August 14, Ukraine’s «long-range sanctions» demilitarized the stable gas condensate fractionation unit and the hydrocracking unit at NOVATEK’s Ust-Luga complex. And this is important to understand Ust-Luga is not just a terminal. Stable gas condensate was processed here into separate marketable products: light and heavy naphtha, jet fuel, gasoil, marine fuel components, and LPG, after which a significant share of the output was exported by sea In 2022, the complex produced around 6.8 million tonnes of marketable products:
4.2 million tonnes of light and heavy naphtha;
1.05 million tonnes of jet fuel;
1.49 million tonnes of gasoil and marine fuel components;
78,000 tonnes of LPG.
In other words, the Russians were effectively converting gas condensate into higher-value finished export products rather than simply selling the raw material.
Hydrocracking is particularly important - it allows heavier fractions to be converted into more valuable light products, including kerosene and gasoil
So hitting both of these links affects the entire processing chain. And all of this is happening at one of NOVAT EK’s key export hubs on the Baltic Sea.

LNG, [methane] would never be used for synthesis gas production to make methanol, Ammonia, Ammonia Nitrate.
