On April 6th, Ukrainian naval and aerial drones attacked the port of Novorossiysk.

Ukrainian drones launched a series of strikes on the main facilities of the Sheskharis oil loading terminal in Novorossiysk.

The Sheskharis terminal is part of Transneft, a Russian company involved in pipelines and oil export infrastructure.

The Sheskharis terminal is the endpoint for Russian pipelines in the south of the country.

The Sheskharis terminal has a capacity of 3.5 to 4.5 million tons of crude oil, equivalent to approximately 1 million barrels per day or 35-40 large tankers per month.

The Sheskharis terminal accounts for approximately 20% of Russia's total marine export of oil and petroleum products, including diesel fuel and fuel oil.

During the Novorossiysk attack, drones destroyed equipment at both berths of the oil terminal, blew up and set fire to pipeline shut-off valves, and destroyed several oil quantity and quality measurement system units.

Ivan Yakovina observes that Russian air defense (PVO) in the Novorossiysk area has significantly deteriorated, with few anti-aircraft missiles visible and chaotic machine gun fire replacing them.

The Russian Telegram channel 'Belarusian Silovik' reported that the attack on Novorossiysk lasted over 4 hours and involved dozens of Ukrainian drones, causing the few anti-aircraft missile systems guarding the port to run out of missiles.

Ivan Yakovina predicts that the Russian oil terminal in Novorossiysk will likely not operate for the next few weeks or even months, halting fuel loading onto tankers.

Pipelines transporting Russian oil to the West have been non-operational for a long time.

Earlier this week, Ukrainian drones destroyed two key Baltic oil loading ports: Ust-Luga and Primorsk.

Ivan Yakovina believes that with all three major Russian oil export ports (Novorossiysk, Ust-Luga, Primorsk) non-operational, approximately two-thirds or more of Russia's crude oil production will have no destination.

Ivan Yakovina believes that the destruction of Russia's three main oil export ports creates conditions under which Vladimir Putin will be forced to seriously consider announcing mobilization, even against his own desires.

Ivan Yakovina believes that if Russia does not conduct mobilization, its offensive operations will completely stop, which would constitute an absolute defeat for Vladimir Putin.

Alexander Borodai, a State Duma deputy, recently stated that mobilizing 500,000 to 700,000 Russians could strengthen the front, but only for reserve or rear duties.

The channel 'Prizrak Novorossii' claims that Ukrainian military leaders, including Robert Brovdi (Madjar), state their main goal is to deplete Russia's personnel by eliminating more soldiers each month than Russia can recruit.

Ivan Yakovina recommends that Russian men aged 20 to 50 (or even 60) obtain a foreign passport, find alternative housing, stock up on food and cash, and avoid military commissariats for the next 6-12 months, even if they receive 100 mobilization summons.
