Responsible Statecraft world

Key Points:

  • Ukrainian drones struck two gas processing plants in Russia's Yamalo-Nenets region on September 9, marking Ukraine's deepest attack inside Russian territory since the war began.
  • The Yamal region produces about 80% of Russia's natural gas, making the attack significant for Arctic energy infrastructure.
  • Russian analysts believe the drones were launched from northern Ukraine with the aid of Starlink technology.
  • The strike disrupted European energy markets, as Europe heavily depends on gas from the Yamal region.
  • Former President Donald Trump urged Ukraine to cease attacks on Russia's diesel infrastructure, citing global fuel shortages, while not addressing the impact of the Iran war on energy prices.
