It might be the time to take out as much oil infrastructure as they can. It'll be hard for some "allies" to publicly condemn those targets since blowing up oil infrastructure is so in vogue atm. We're doing a bit of a speed run on the need for renewables and electrification into the public consciousness.

And since we've driven down supply and started to remove sanctions Russia is poised to make tons of oil money. Best to put a stop to that as much as Ukraine possibly can.

Spare-Loss2742 Apr 7, 2026 +1

With the Gulf conflict already taking 20% of the oil off the market plus now Ukraine bombing export sites, won't this put Ukraine itself at a disadvantage?

Oil price may have gone up but it will be a moot point so long as Ukraine keep up pressure of knocking out oil terminals and refinery from exporting the fuel and thereby deprive Putin much needed foreign currency.

They theoretically could have done it this winter by targeting the Siberian fields energy infrastructure causing them to freeze and force redrilling shutting down production for years. The decided that was to high an escalation and limited to targeting refining and export infrastructure.

IvorTheEngine Apr 6, 2026 +5

It's more that they were targeting refineries, forcing Russia to export crude oil (at a price that barely covered the cost of extraction) instead of higher-value refined product. Now the price of crude has gone up they've switched to the docks that are needed to export that oil.

The world will change fundamentally due to the actions of a handful of meglomanical butchers. Like we are going to see entire societies restructure, imperialist nations die from their own gluttony and barbarism, and a very determined Global South claim their standing on the world stage. There is no putting Pandora back in the box. The petrochemical infrastructure being eliminated is on a pace no environmentalist would ever dream possible. And no economist could accurately predict what the world will look like 5, 10, 20, 100 years from now.

Good. Trump forced them into this by dropping sanctions on Russian oil and not following up with arms support. If you don't give them tools to fight a conventional war they will necessarily fight an asymmetric one. Iran is in a very similar position, if there is significant ramp up of conventional force against Iran they will lash out by destroying more energy infrastructure.

It's not years worth of oil.. stopping the ability of export means they have so stop extracting as much.

RandomTurkey247 Apr 6, 2026 +1

And if they don't have a place to store it, wells need to be shut down, which are difficult to restart. Then maybe, we start to slow the tide of suicide by oil.

They might increase oil price so much that renewables will be cheaper in comparison and more investment will flow in renewables R&D.

not all at once, it would have been spread out over years and trees would have had more time to absorb the carbon emissions easier

You're vastly underestimating how much oil we use per day and also overestimating how much oil we stockpile.

catscanmeow Apr 6, 2026 -16

if they burn all the oil in existence at once in one day would be that a good thing or a bad thing for the environment?

-16

probablypoo Apr 6, 2026 +12

That would be very bad, not sure what that have to do with anything though since they haven't even blown up 0.000001% of all oil in existance

12

catscanmeow Apr 6, 2026

letting an oil field burn thousands of tons of oil at once seems pretty bad to me, but alright and it’s not like they’ve put out the fires yet. do these countries even have the infrastructure to put out a perpetual fire?

Solesky1 Apr 5, 2026 +17

Technically greenhouse gas emissions will go down if there's no oil

You clearly don’t comprehend how much a years worth of fuel for the entire planet is if you think we’re currently blowing that up daily.

i never said it was a years worth of fuel for the entire planet i said its a years worthof fuel from that location why do you think i meant the entire planet?

Ambrant Apr 5, 2026 +6

your point?

catscanmeow Apr 5, 2026 -3

That burning a shitload of oil all at once is bad for the environment, the point was clearly laid out in the original comment.

Ambrant Apr 6, 2026 +4

There was a question with an obvious answer. I assumed you are trying to make some point. Other than this obvious statement. I can see now I was mistaken. Burning oil is bad for environment, good point. AFU will try to increase the frequency of the strikes

ciaDisinfo Apr 6, 2026 +3

it’s like weeks of fuel at most. plus removing extraction capacity means less is taken in the future and higher prices means renewables suddenly have a much higher return on investment.

catscanmeow Apr 6, 2026 +1

thats if they have the ability to stop it from burning though. and theres more than one refinery burning right now, its happening in many countries

MindSlay3r Apr 6, 2026 +1

Good thing that russians attack on Ukraine have no effect on climate, thank God. Also explosion of the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station done by russians and the subsequent flooding also had no impact on the environment, sure sure

There's a war happening in the middle east. The CO2 emissions from bombs and explosives is absurdly high. If the whole planet switched to EVs for a year, it qoorobanyl wouldn't offset the damage Trump is doing with his war

You seem to prioritize the environment, based on your **uncertain opinion** about this oil that’s burning, over a country’s and its people’s freedom. Am I correct? Is that your position?

asking a question isnt an opinion my question was how bad is this for the environment, not whether war is justified why did you say A country? there are several wars climate change effects all countries freedom

jay6432 Apr 6, 2026

Well when people responded to your question with information, you’ve continued to respond & push back against their answers. So it seems like you have an opinion on the subject, even though you’re obviously unsure of all of the facts. This post is about Ukraine’s attacks on russia; and you’re asking about *these* attacks. So how is anyone supposed to know you’re talking about other wars or all wars, unless you explicitly say that? I said a country’s and its people’s freedom; because that’s what Ukraine is fighting for right now. Climate change will, in the long term, affect all countries, yes. But right now, in the immediate present, Ukraine and its people’s freedom and future is at stake.

catscanmeow Apr 6, 2026

when i said "all these attacks thoughout the **world**" it was about all attacks in the world, if i was only talking about one country i would have named one specific country. thats how specificity works... do you not know what the word all means?

0

jay6432 Apr 6, 2026 +1

Ukraine has conducted a lot of attacks on russia’s oil industry lately. So, “all these attacks,” could easily be interpreted to mean all of Ukraine’s attacks. If you look at other responses, I’m not the only one who interpreted your question to be specifically about Ukraine. So in the future it’s probably best to be a bit more specific / clear. But fair enough

catscanmeow Apr 6, 2026

we are on listnook, and listnook has posted about many oil attacks like the ones on kuwait yesterday, on the front page. thats why i phrased things that way "all these attacks throughout the world" because they were the top headlines of the day
