Oil Export Collapse: Russia Loses Black Sea Dollars - Jason Jay Smart

Ukraine has struck at the core of Russia’s war machine, targeting the systems that keep the Kremlin afloat. In the Black Sea, tankers in Tuapse and Novorossiysk are frozen in place, cutting off vital oil revenues and draining millions from Moscow’s budget every hour. At the front, a Russian Su-34 bomber was destroyed near Zaporizhzhia, ending missions that once terrorized Ukrainian cities. In Crimea, Antonov transports and a coastal radar site were eliminated, leaving Russian forces unable to move troops or see incoming threats.

The strain spreads beyond the battlefield. In occupied Luhansk, gas nodes were struck, forcing plants to switch to coal and leaving factories in blackout. In Sevastopol, banks froze deposits and ATMs failed, cutting off families and soldiers from their wages. These cascading failures are not random; they reveal a coordinated campaign aimed at dismantling Russia’s economy, finance, and defense.

This video details how Ukraine is systematically targeting and destroying its ports, fuel infrastructure, and banking systems. Every stalled tanker, every frozen account, and every destroyed aircraft is part of a wider collapse. Russia is being squeezed on every front, and its ability to sustain war is rapidly unraveling.
