Stoltenberg says the war could go on for years. All of Europe will be involved even if only through huge energy and economic cost.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are now on the hit list for Russia to repeal their recognition as independent states. In Germany, the coal mines are being reopened to stave off the coming winter.

From what I read about Russia selling its oil on the cheap to China and the money that brings in, I'm guessing Putin and his cronies aren't the least worried about running out of their war funds for a while. And there's the sale of oil to India, too... And RSA's president is about to meet with Putin in a BRICS summit to 'discuss' the war in Ukraine and energy supplies, so I'm guessing South Africa will be added onto that list of cheap Russian oil beneficiaries.
This war will go on for years. I have no doubt about that. And I fear it's only going to harm the Western economy while China (or more correctly, CCP) will grow stronger thanks in part to cheap oil.

The Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Russia got hit by two suicide drones. It is the largest supplier of petroleum products in southern Russia.
Cameraman:- Yup, it's a drone. Hahaha. =)
Colleague:- ...Ukrainian?
Cameraman:- Off course not. =)
explodes
Colleague:- ...flew from Ukraine?
Cameraman:- Yup, from that side...
It's pretty far from the frontline- 180-200 kilometers.
Some news outlets say that it's an Ukrainian Ukrspecsystems PD-1 or PD-2, but the silhouette doesn't match.
^ drone on video has flat tail with fins and no winglets.
^ PD-2 has a triangle tail and winglets.
The only match so far was found to be a Chinese UAV from Aliexpress.

So... who launched it is the question...

Afaik, it was Bayraktar. Arestovich said that "someone lost his Turkish lighter" there.
Also Arestovich today - "initiative right now is 50/50 for RF/UA, was 6/1 few months ago"
Also, ex Ukrainian oil platform in Black sea was destroyed by Harpoon rocket few days ago. It was captured by RF in 2014.

It's tough to tell from that picture whether the drone has a flat or triangle tail or winglets.

It doesn't look like Bayraktar at all... That UAV from Aliexpress is still the closest match.

"What we are seeing is the wholesale destruction of the Ukrainian field army in the east."
Forty to fifty thousand UKR troops are surrounded on three sides, according to the reporter.
Right now over half the world supports Russia, countries like China, India, Brazil, South Africa, etc. A collapse of the work being done to bring democracy to Ukraine since 1991, and more so since 2014, would strongly signal the end of anything like a unipolar rules-based world order. We would be hip deep in a multipolar world. The world's trust and reliance on the US and the US dollar may be questioned, even ended. It may be hard to adjust to this.
