It’s clear that a stationary unit will soon be located by drones and then visited by artillery. Units can’t just sit around for days or weeks without using gas. And if they do try to storm Kiev, they’ll need gas to do it. The straight-line distance to Kiev center may be “within range” but units will have to wait, maneuver, wait some more, in between fighting and taking losses. To press an attack they will need fuel, so fuel logistics are as important as ever. |

Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji said in televised remarks on Saturday that he will try to raise Iran's oil and condensates exports to 1.4 million barrels per day as set out in an annual state budget. "In parliament, lawmakers decided to raise the ceiling of exports of oil and condensates from 1.2 million barrels (per day) to 1.4 million barrels. The Oil Ministry will do everything in its power to realise the level set in the budget," Owji told state television. Iran, facing US sanctions on its crude oil exports, does not divulge actual figures on its oil sales. View Quote |
