Sergey said that the Ukrainian army launched a total of 3 rounds of missile attacks, hitting 3 different drilling platforms respectively. There were 109 employees on these platforms at the time. This incident has injured 3 people and 7 People are missing and other personnel are being evacuated from the platform.

After the incident, the Russian army mobilized urgently, and the Russian Ministry of Defense sent patrol ships and aircraft to rescue .

Members of the Russian Federation believe that the target of the Ukrainian army’s attack is Russia’s offshore drilling platform .

However, some Ukrainian media said that the Ukrainian army only launched dozens of missiles towards the Ukrainian island Snake Island controlled by the Russian army. But soon, Ukrainian Congressman Alexei stood up and admitted: Some of the missiles hit the nearby offshore drilling platform, not Shedao .

It can be seen from the statements of both sides that Russia and Ukraine have confirmed that the Black Sea drilling platform was attacked, but the difference in their rhetoric is that one side believes it was intentional, while the other side said it was an accident.

To be fair, it is certainly possible that the Ukrainian army "accidentally" threw the missile onto the offshore drilling platform when attacking Snake Island, but this is unlikely in terms of actual operation or the intention behind it.

Why do you say that? Personal analysis, there are at least 5 reasons:

1, a signal for the Ukrainian army to attack the Russian army .

As we all know, energy export is Russia's pillar industry and the fundamental reason why ruble "resurrected". Especially when Russia is currently sanctioned by most Western countries, oil and gas exports are crucial to the Russian economy.

The purpose of Ukraine's actions is very clear, which is to cut off Russia's most critical economic line and completely collapse the Russian economy. After all, Zelensky has complained more than once that Western sanctions against Russia are not strong enough. The main reason is that while the West is sanctioning Russia, it cannot do without Russian energy and secretly uses rubles to "transfuse" Russia.

Although on the surface Europe "shares the same hatred" and stands with Ukraine, it has become an open secret that European countries use "anonymous tankers" to purchase Russian energy. What's more, even the United States has recently had to compromise with the "Ruble Payment Order", using Rubles were used to pay Russia for the "flying" of American astronauts.

By doing this, the Ukrainian army is not only attacking Russia, but also attacking EU . On the one hand, means that Ukraine no longer trusts the West when it comes to sanctioning Russia. On the other hand, it means that Ukraine no longer trusts the West. Do not worry about the interests of any party involved with Russian energy .

What the Uzbek army is doing is almost equivalent to "taking money from the bottom of the cauldron", which is also harmful to itself. The Uzbek army's attack on the drilling platform is very likely to cause a large amount of energy to flow into the sea, pollute large areas of the sea, and cause ecological damage.

What's more, attacking civilian facilities is both inhumane and against the rules of war. The Ukrainian army's move appears hysterical and irresponsible in every aspect.

2, ownership issue of Crimean gas company .

Although Sergei has repeatedly stated that the natural gas companies off the coast of Crimea belong to Russia, reports pointed out that since 2014, the Ukrainian National Oil and Gas Company has made statements more than once, confirming that the ownership of the Crimean natural gas companies is in dispute.

Yes, Ukraine does not recognize that the company belongs to Russia, just like it does not recognize that Crimea is Russian territory .

The reason why the Ukrainian army launched an attack on the drilling platform may be to declare its sovereignty in disguise, believing that this area should also be "taken back" like other areas occupied by the Russian army.

3. The Ukrainian army has not attacked Russian facilities once or twice. It is a bit reluctant to say it was a "mistake" .

More than two months ago, the Ukrainian army attacked oil bases in Russia. For a long period of time, the Ukrainian army successively raided multiple facilities in the Russian army, causing casualties on the Russian side and causing strong dissatisfaction in Russia.

Now the Ukrainian army’s attack on the Russian oil diamond platform is just a repeat of the same old trick.

4. The successive defeats in the Donbas battlefield have made the Ukrainian army eager to regain a victory..

In the past, before the Ukrainian army faced defeat on the main battlefield, Ukraine would always "surprise" attack Russian territory or Russian facilities. On the one hand, it diverted Russia's attention in Donbas, and on the other hand, it also aimed to boost the morale of the Ukrainian army and prepare for the next step. Lay the foundation for the counterattack.

However, the Ukrainian army's "counterattack" plan is often just a slogan. It is very difficult to implement in practice and is extremely difficult to succeed.

5. This means that the Ukrainian army has taken a dangerous step towards the goal of "retaking" Crimea .

According to the "three major counterattack plans" that Ukraine Defense Minister Reznikov previously advocated to the outside world, the first two steps are to control Ukrainian military casualties and restore the territory of Ukraine before the conflict, and the last step is to "take back" Kerry Mia and Donbas.

There is fierce fighting in the Donbas region now, and it is difficult to take action. As an important supply base for the Russian army, Crimea may of course become a target for the Ukrainian army. Especially now that the Ukrainian army suddenly attacks the oil base in Crimea, it is quite a posture of "attacking" Crimea. Invisibly, it also conveyed a wrong signal to the outside world that "the Ukrainian army has the advantage" .

Of course, since the Russian facilities can be succeeded by the Ukrainian army again and again, it means that Russia still has certain loopholes in preventing attacks and needs to pay more attention. It is conceivable that if the Ukrainian army can succeed in every raid, Similar actions will only make more, not less, .

It should be noted that the Uzbek army’s attack on the Russian drilling platform has few benefits and great disadvantages. The most direct consequence that may occur is the Russian army’s revenge. Regarding this, the Uzbek army must have seen this many times in previous operations. .

Secondly, Ukraine is also prone to losing the sympathy and trust of some European countries. Finally, what the Ukrainian army did has a wide range of effects, has a bad impact, is neither environmentally friendly nor humane.

The strange thing is, where are the "environmental protection girls" and "human rights defenders" in the West at this time?
