工厂被炸后的现实很快就摆在了大家面前。加油站陆续开始排起长队，油价也被悄悄推高，一些老百姓 开车成本上升，供暖公司也开始担忧冬天能否顺利度过。 货车和农机用油直接从这家大厂出来，供给紧了，运输和农业的日常也容易被殃及。这不仅是俄罗斯自 己的麻烦，周边的国家同样要再三琢磨，以免未来油不够用或者成本飞涨。整个区域的日子都随着这么 一颗炸弹变得不安稳起来。 俄罗斯的萨拉托夫炼油厂被无人机连续袭击，这事让不少人揪心，也让加油站的队伍一夜之间变长了。 事情发生在今年11月，乌克兰动用了无人机，两次盯上了这家产能巨大的炼油厂，结果核心的装置被炸 停，整个工厂只有等月底才能修好恢复生产。 原本这里一天能炼出十几万桶油，无论是加汽油还是烧暖气，都离不开它。工厂一旦断了生产，受影响 的不光是俄罗斯国内，连带着周边国家，比如白俄罗斯和哈萨克斯坦，都面临着供油减少的难题。 乌克兰的这波操作，算是打在了俄罗斯的痛点上。本来稳稳当当靠石油出口赚大钱的日子，现在被无人 机搅得一团乱。乌克兰选择炸炼油厂，不只是单纯想让俄罗斯亏点钱，更重要的是想让俄罗斯把防空体 系的注意力分散开。 本来这些高精尖的防御系统都冲着前线去的，现在不得不抽更多力 ...

2024年12月初，特朗普和加拿大总理特鲁多见面，本来谈边境安全和贸易逆差，结果特朗普直接甩出狠话：如果加拿大管不好边境非法移民和毒品流入，美 国就从2025年1月起对加拿大所有商品加25%关税。 两国边境线长8891公里，大多是湖泊森林。数据显示，2024年通过加拿大进入美国的芬太尼等毒品案子超过10万起，主要走铁路集装箱，检查率低得可怜。 特朗普团队亮出报告，说加拿大边境局对火车检查几乎等于零，导致美国中西部毒品泛滥。 在2024年底到2025年，特朗普接连放出几个大招，直接搅动了国际格局。 他先是说加拿大该并入美国当第51个州，然后又盯上巴拿马运河，要收回控制权，最后还重提收购格陵兰岛的事。 结果，贸易摩擦升级，盟友关系紧张，中东和亚太地区冲突加剧，世界经济晃荡得像过山车。 贸易上，美国对加拿大逆差600亿美元，主要在汽车和木材，特朗普要加拿大多买美国石油天然气，但加拿大自己产量够用。 会上，特朗普突然说加拿大干脆加入美国当第51州，特鲁多还能当州长。加拿大政府当场否认，但特朗普不罢休，12月下旬在推特上又提一次，2025年1月 就职演讲里重申。 2月1日，关税真落实了，加拿大汽车出口成本涨15%，通用 ...

Core Viewpoint - Recent geopolitical conflicts and a strong refined oil market have contributed to a rebound in international oil prices, although concerns about oversupply have led to a sharp decline in prices [1] Group 1: Oil Price Dynamics - International oil prices rebounded due to multiple factors, including new U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and India's cessation of Russian oil purchases, raising supply concerns [1] - The recent sanctions on Russian oil companies, including Lukoil, have directly restricted Russian oil exports, with India previously importing approximately 1.7 million barrels per day from Russia [1] - The unexpected operational challenges faced by Lukoil in Iraq, with a production capacity of around 400,000 barrels per day, have further supported oil prices in the short term [1] Group 2: Refined Oil Market Influence - The strong performance of the refined oil market, particularly in Europe and the U.S., has provided significant support for crude oil prices, with recent price movements closely mirroring those of refined products [2] Group 3: Supply and Demand Outlook - Despite the recent price increases, the fundamental conditions in the crude oil market have not fundamentally improved, with rising inventory pressures and a seasonal decline in demand expected [3] - U.S. crude oil inventories increased by approximately 1.2 million barrels as of the week ending November 7, indicating weakening demand [3] - OPEC+ plans to continue increasing production in December, which will exert additional pressure on oil prices [3] Group 4: Future Projections - Significant inventory pressures are anticipated from late 2025 to early 2026, with oil prices expected to have room for decline during this period [4] - OPEC+ is projected to reach a production plateau of nearly 3 million barrels per day by December 2025, while seasonal demand lows are expected in February to March 2026 [4] - Long-term supply pressures remain, with a downward trend in oil prices expected, although short-term fluctuations may occur due to geopolitical factors and market dynamics [4]

2022年9月，北溪2号管道刚刚竣工不久，便发生了神秘的水下爆炸事件，导致这条本应保障欧洲能源供 应的管道瞬间瘫痪，欧洲失去了一个重要的天然气来源。最初，外界普遍怀疑是俄罗斯所为，毕竟俄欧 关系持续紧张。但随着调查的深入，调查线索却指向了乌克兰。美国《华尔街日报》曾报道称，这次爆 炸行动是由一小群乌克兰军官执行的，背后由乌克兰商界人士提供资金支持。报道称，乌克兰总统泽连 斯基最初批准了这个行动，后来尝试叫停，但未能成功。然而，乌克兰政府始终否认了这些说法，至今 没有明确的结论。德国检方经过长时间的调查，向包括茹拉夫列夫在内的至少六人发出了逮捕令。当茹 拉夫列夫在波兰被捕后，德国满怀期待地希望通过欧洲逮捕令将其引渡回国受审。毕竟，欧洲逮捕令是 欧盟成员国之间司法协作的常规操作，执行率通常很高。然而，波兰的拒绝令德国的追责之路戛然而 止。 波兰法院拒绝引渡的理由十分明确。法官达里乌什·卢博夫斯基指出，武装部队在战时针对敌方关键基 础设施的攻击行为，不应视为破坏行为，而应视为一种战略性牵制行动，因此并不构成犯罪。同时，卢 博夫斯基还认为，德国对该事件没有管辖权。这一裁决立即引发了法学界的热议。哥廷根大学的法学教 授 ...
