Drone attack in Novorossiysk is the first threat to oil exports from the Russian Federation - FT

According to journalists, everything that affects the world's oil prices is not in the interests of the United States. In the face of the world energy crisis, Washington will be more difficult to support Ukraine. By attacking the sea drones on the Olengorsky Gornyak ship near the port of Novorossiysk Ukraine, for the first time, it threatened Russian infrastructure for oil export. About it reports The Financial Times.

The Ukrainian military intelligence officer Andriy Yusov said that the port in Novorossiysk should be considered a legal military goal, as the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is filled here. However, according to journalists, after an attack in Novorossiysk, it is likely that the White House will have questions, especially on the eve of the US presidential election.

Washington makes efforts to contain the global rise in oil prices, and Novorossiysk is the largest oil port of the Russian Federation in the Black Sea, through which about 600,000 barrels of oil are exported daily. It is also the main point of oil exports from Kazakhstan, here the end point of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CTC) with a capacity of 1. 2 million barrels per day. The CTC has a share of the largest American Oil Company Chevron.

According to representatives of the company, the infrastructure of the pipeline was not injured. According to Helima Croft, the former CIA analytics that conducts the study of raw markets in RBC Capital Markets, everything that affects the supply of Russian oil to the world market will not be welcomed by the White House. In addition, in the face of the world energy crisis, Washington will be more difficult to support Ukraine. Oil prices increased by almost 15% of last month, to $ 85 per barrel.
