"Russia will crumble in a few days": Denys Shtilerman called for a naval blockade and the destruction of Russian oil exports
According to the head of Fire Point, Ukraine has all the necessary technical means to completely paralyze the Russian economy and win the war. The main target should be the aggressor's oil exports, and systematic strikes on Moscow should complete the task.
According to the head of Fire Point, Ukraine has all the necessary technical means to completely paralyze the Russian economy and win the war. The main target should be the aggressor's oil exports, and systematic strikes on Moscow should complete the task.
This vision of the victory strategy was voiced by the co-owner and chief designer of the Ukrainian miltech company Fire Point, Denis Shtilerman, during a stream with volunteer Serhiy Sternenko.
When asked about Ukraine's ability to win this war, the developer expressed absolute confidence in success. According to him, to implement this scenario, the domestic defense-industrial complex and the Defense Forces lack only adequate funding, political will, and clear organization.
"We can completely block 80% of their oil exports in one day with the means of destruction currently available. We just need to close their shipping. That's it. Declare a naval blockade," Stielerman emphasized.
He is convinced that the Russian economy will not withstand such a systemic blow. According to the designer, the aggressor can "fall apart in 1-2 days", and even if the process drags on, a six-month stoppage of oil exports will be enough to critically exhaust the Russian Federation. The next stage, according to Stillerman, should be to scale up the strikes directly on the Russian capital.
Western analysts are recording the catastrophic consequences of Ukrainian attacks on the occupiers' oil industry.
In particular, as the Financial Times notes , recent Ukrainian drone strikes on the ports of Primorsk and Ust-Luga in the Baltic region caused the aggressor losses of almost $970 million in just one week.
These ports are critically important, as they provide over 40% of Russia's seaborne oil exports. In Primorsk alone, $200 million worth of crude oil was destroyed, and exports from Ust-Luga immediately plummeted by 70% after the attack.
Earlier, Shtilerman told Sternenko that Fire Point products are almost completely localized and currently consist of 90% Ukrainian components.
Denis Shtilerman also supported the idea of opening the export of Ukrainian weapons.
