Fuel intended for Russian frontline troops was redirected to Moscow because of refinery shortages, Bill Browder says in an interview published by The Sun. He presents the reported diversion as evidence that Ukrainian strikes on Russia's oil infrastructure are affecting its military operations as well as its economy.

The financier and activist's central argument is about leverage. According to Browder, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is willing to stop attacking refineries if Russia stops striking Ukrainian civilians. Browder predicts that the economic pressure will eventually push Vladimir Putin towards such an agreement.

"Ukraine is hitting the one thing that Vladimir Putin cares about, which is his oil refineries and other key economic targets," he says, as the video shows fires and smoke at refinery sites.

The frontline-fuel assertion comes about three minutes into the interview. Later, the programme includes footage of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov discussing mobilisation reserves. Although the title describes an order to draft civilians, the excerpt centres on Kadyrov's account of the available reserve.

The interview has drawn about 304,000 views since yesterday. Its closing discussion returns to the limits facing Ukraine: Browder points to shortages of air-defence missiles and predicts an eventual air ceasefire. That is his forecast, not an announced agreement.
