Refinery strikes impact explosives feedstocks (ammonia, nitrogen & methanol)

Twitter thread.

People, including Jake Sullivan over at the Biden Adm. NSC think this is about AFU cutting off Russian oil.

They're wrong. It's about explosives.

#2  I thought Joe told the Ukes to stop hitting Russian energy infrastructure.

I guess his orders don't carry so much weight these days.

#1  And here I thought these are (desperate) attempts by Ukraine to restore the flow of western funds.
