Russian Nightmare Escalates - Joe Blogs



Ukraine’s latest drone strike has hit one of Russia’s biggest gas facilities — the Orenburg Gas Processing Plant, operated by Gazprom.

The attack caused a major fire and forced the suspension of gas intake from Kazakhstan’s Karachaganak field, cutting oil and gas production by up to 30%.

This is a major blow to Russia’s energy infrastructure — with estimated losses of $5–10 million per day and wider damage to its credibility as a stable energy supplier.

In this video, I break down:
✅ What happened in Orenburg
✅ The impact on Russian and Kazakh oil output
✅ The estimated daily losses
✅ How this strike fits into Ukraine’s wider strategy
