Ukrainian drones “have knocked out 600,000 to 900,00 barrels” of Russia’s daily oil-refining capacity.
Industry experts estimate that Ukraine’s campaign of long-range drone strikes on Russia’s energy industry has already succeeded in knocking out between 600,000 and 900,000 barrels of Russia’s daily oil-refining capacity, Bloomberg reports.
Ukraine launched a bombing campaign against Russia’s oil and gas industry in January 2024 using domestically produced long-range drones. According to Kyiv officials, these air strikes are designed to starve the Russian invasion force inside Ukraine of fuel while also undermining the economic foundations of Vladimir Putin’s war machine. On March 1, Russia imposed a six-month ban on gasoline exports in a move widely linked to Ukraine’s drone attacks.
Since the beginning of 2024, Ukraine has successfully targeted more than a dozen Russian refineries, leading to production halts and damage to critical infrastructure. With the majority of Russia’s air defense systems currently deployed in Ukraine, the Kremlin is struggling to defend against Ukraine’s drone attacks.

No one should tell Ukrainians not to fight ruZZia in any way that they can , especially those who are not supporting Ukraine as they promised to do
👏🏻👏🏻👍
👍🇺🇦👍
👍👍👍💛💙
Not many left to fight 😂
What they have given billions already, it’s not that they have failed, but Ukraine to deliver with that support, has totally failed!
Thank you. You are spot on with every point you made. Regarding your comments about Ukraine attacking russian oil industry, I'll repeat a post I made on Anna From Ukraine's channel: I’ve heard that certain high level US government politicians and military are telling Ukraine to cool it on blasting russian oil industry infrastructure. As an American, all I can say is “Shut the F up”. Since we have allowed a couple of individuals in congress to prevent us supporting Ukraine, WE HAVE NO RIGHT, NO PLACE, NO JUSTIFICATION for telling Ukraine what you can or cannot do, AT ALL! Slava Ukraine.
Great report! As an American, I'm disappointed in my own country. The continued attempt of expansion by force by any country needs to be stopped by any and all means. Ukraine has the right to defend itself from an aggressive country! 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
You are disappointed that some of us don't want to put trillions of dollars of debt on our children's children's children's children to once again pull a European countries bacon out of the fire when there are countries adjacent to Russia that refuse to chip in their fair share, even though it's to defend themselves????? I'm not sure you have the entire picture. Germany actually laughed at DJT when he asked them to contribute 2 % of their GDP.
You have to remember that a significant segment of the American Right regards Putin as a hero. He has taken Russia substantially to the Right and many Americans would like to replicate his "success" in the USA. The US has always had a significant bunch of fascists amongst its people.
It is a real shame that the USA has lost all respect and shows how afraid and weak they really are. But we know this from history. USA is not a leader, it just professes to be. It is no good at war either, it has only had 5 international wars, lost 4 and won only the gulf war. The losses are amongst the most protracted in history, Afganistan, Iran and Vietnam prove USA is simply a loser with big guns. Wars are won with heart and the determination to stand up to evil. USA is the exact opposite of its Hollywood projection of being the heroes winning good over evil. The rest of the free world has woken up to the USA, all fur coat with no knickers. What an absolute let down in the face of world events. It is time USA shut up about being a world leader, it clearly is not. Slava Ukraini. The real heroes, defending the free world.
You should be specifically disappointed with the current republican party. I'm Canadian and I know MAGA republicans DO NOT represent your country, government or the majority of the people.
@@richardcory5024And they don’t realize the disinformation taken in as truth from Truth Social and MAGA Republicans. Sad.
Ukraine should never have signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 which made Ukraine surrender its nuclear capability in exchange for protection of their territory borders the US, UK and Russia. If Ukraine had nuclear capability, Russia would not have invaded.
The number of nuclear warheads is important, otherwise the nuclear deterrence does not work. Nuclear capacities did not prevent the war in between Pakistan and India, for example. And since Muscovy does not care of human losses, it would invade Ukraine anyway.
Neither Ukraine, nor other participants ratified memorandum in their parliaments.
@@KTOMbI But the nukes left Ukraine
@@brucegordon9007 and X-22 missiles with which russia hits civilians in Ukraine
Because memoranda are not intended to be ratified. Reputational losses alone would be serious enough to urge the USA to fulfill their promises.
Your final words cut right into me 'If we let this happen then our values will count for nothing' So true Jonathan, every time.
What values? NATO supported the overthrow of Ukrainians democracy by violent force in 2014, a pro Russian Ukrainian democracy!
Don’t kid yourself bud, your not supporting democracy :)
The only value your helping, is the weapons industry :)
Our values, yes. But also our interests. Helping Ukraine to win is self preservation.
Biden could get aid to Ukraine by different means. But he seems to prefer that Trump stalls the legislation. Is there really any difference between Biden and Trump?
Thank you for Not talking about poor Moscow, the tacit agreement ukr had with USA is over, no aid no deal. Ukraine is fighting for its life and frankly they are doing a better job without American lame approach to Putin, Ukraine knows who they are dealing with.
I’m so angry with my 🇺🇸government, there’s no words.🙏🏼🇺🇦Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🙏🏼👏🇺🇸
Yep, Americans … nearly as two faced as the Germans. Both have not delivered on their promises.
Thank you. Many of us in Europe are disappointed and angry with America right now too. I never thought I'd see a day when the US would be falling into the z sphere and betraying its democracy.
I think the USA helps more than we know. I believe that americain firms are helping Ukraine developpe drones and building ammunition in Ukraine. It's the américain gouvernement who wants the war to be a stalemate. Poor little Russia must not loose. They might loose their minds and fire a nuclear bomb !
Ukraine should never have trusted the US. And Ukraine has to defend itself in any way possible. Russia doesn’t respect any rules and Ukrainians have been more than compliant with International rules of war. Thank you for all you do for Ukraine.
Except for the cluster munitions(most counties have banned their use )butterfly mines were banned and a treaty signed by Ukraine not to be used but they used them anyway. Other than a few other things your right
It's not really so much about trust as it is about obtaining military support, and that's going to be subject to the politics of the day. And that's not limited to dealing with the US. Germany, for instance, is another case. If the US Congress were to lose a couple of the Republicans, then military aid would no doubt restart. Bottom line, the log-jam is really down to one man's political games.
Never have trusted US? The US has consistently supplied Ukraine for almost two years,and the government strongly supports continued support. The House sabotage is devastating, but it is not abandonment by either the US people or the nation’s government or political class.
Frankly, trust aside, what other choice lay open for Ukraine except surrender by March 1, 2022. Better to focus on current positioning than relighting 2 year old tactics and past understandings.
Russian bot, saying ignore all Best support? 😅
I feel naive that I never consider that this might be a comment by a Russian troll. Can never be certain, but …
Jonathan, just perfect ! I wish you were our NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR ! As an American I feel horrible in the delay of US aid !!!!
FYI these aren't refinery attacks, they're Ukrainian oil sanctions 🇺🇦🔱💪
😂😂😂😂😂
Special sanction operations.
🤥🇺🇦🤡
Legitimate war targets.
and Kharkov is enjoying the darkness.....
YEAH WELL this Republican thinks the USA aid package oughta be $100 billion by now......
👍👍👍
Most of my Republican friends seem to agree with you🎉🎉🎉
This American Democratic veteran appreciates your sentiment and it also makes a substantial impact when a republican writes republican congresspeople and tells them that THIS is not the situation to be using as leverage and to IMMEDIATELY AND FULLY SUPPORT OUR UKRAINIAN ALLIES WHO ARE FIGHTING OUR FIGHT.
If not more (like the 300 billion russia paid the west for all the stolen equipment (like fleets of jetliners) and defaulted energy sector loans and more)…
Normally Republicans get together in private and decide something by majority vote, like who their speaker will be, and then they all vote *together* in public.
A _few_ Republican reps decided to throw out that rule. They found out they could wag the dog that way. Eventually they will figure out that _everyone else_ can do the same thing, and that means that the party is broken until they all start acting together again.
My friends daughter is based in Amsterdam. She mans supplies convoys of medical supplies to Ukraine. The last convoy was attacked by Russian missiles fired from Belorussia. Last week, her convoy took a field hospital all the way to the east and guess what, it as escorted by armed French troops with a mobile anti missile battery. So what's happening is that other countries are taking independent action independent of Nato or the USA.
MAYBE BE HUSH HUSH
Very grateful for your channel
Much respect from Finland to you Jonathan and to resilient British people 🇫🇮🤝🇬🇧🙏🇺🇦
👍👍👍
I have huge admiration for Finland - 🇫🇮 I taught English at a Finnish company in st Petersburg in the 90s - amazing people!
Hello to Finland from the USA and welcome to NATO! You guys are legendary.
Oil is his money . Good job recently . Keep up the good work !
If that was the purpose of Sullivan's visit he needs to understand that the failure of America to supply the aid that it promised is the reason Ukraine has been forced to target oil refineries.
👍
@@petra1201 Sullivan was an advisor to Obama in 2014 when we did nothing when Crimea was invaded. Obama vetoed weapons for Ukraine. I think he (Sullivan)is at least partially responsible for the “slow-walking” of supplies that has been going on. Obviously I will vote for Biden but I am letting my two Dem. senators know that I am very unhappy with the timely lack of weapons being supplied.
@@carolhunter3671 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Exactly. It makes my blood boil that the US is still trying to limit Ukraine's ability to defend itself. How have they any moral standing now?
@@carolhunter3671 Biden has literally thousands of advisors, when he got elected I thought I could quit writing weekly letters critical of presidential decisions but I was wrong, stupid foot dragging continues.
Well said, sir! I'm sick and tired of the Pentagon/State Dept. games that talk the talk without walking the walk. Our tepid support of freedom (demonstrated by triggering the downfall of Cambodia to the Khmer Rouge, Bush's call for the Kurds to uprise in Iraq, the stupid support of the Shah in Iran, TLDR...) should be reason for others not to depend too much on the US. If you're fighting a war, take all the help you can get, but maybe don't take strategic advice from a party that has zero skin in the game. Slava Ukraine!
Thank you Jonathan for the continuous and forceful defense of the Ukrainian people. I admire your important and clear-sighted effort!
These strikes on Russian oil infrastructure have clearly hit a nerve, likely increasing (opaque-to-us) instability within the Kremlin. Putin will likely find a way to back off which will necessarily put Ukraine on the offensive in the near-term, which in turn will likely negatively impact Western support. It's so important for Ukraine and the West to keep the pressure up as long as Russia has an aggressively expansionist regime.
The regime is beginning to look desperate Ukraine just has to go full defence now just focus on the destruction of the Russian economy
One too many oligarchs had their assets seized and windowed, perhaps? Seen comments about Kremlin staff apparently rejecting Putin's Ukraine narrative for Crocus. Maybe considerations are being made to activate one of the plans among SBU assets in the Kremlin to retire the mad tsar. The wheels on the clown car are definitely very wobbly.
Russia has ALWAYS had an aggressive expansionist regime. A quick look at a map show the result of that. Russia would require a cultural reboot to take that part out. That can ONLY be done by loosing a war and fall under foreign occupation until the change has been completed. Nighter Germany nor Japan had nukes during WW2. Russia has nukes making it immune to that method.
@@michaelpettersson4919 Immune only so long as the West is more scared of one or two tactical nukes now, or hundreds of thermonuclear warheads later. (Also, 50/50 whether a cold-war era nuke launched by Russia makes it off the launch pad.)
Thank you for mentioning our shell initiative, Jonathan! This is exactly why I voted for Petr Pavel as president, the retired chair of NATO military committee. I was hesitant because he´d been a Communist for a short time, but he´s behaved as a democratically thinking person for the last 35 years - so I gave it a shot. And I must say I´ve never been happier about an election decision I´ve made. I had an inkling a situation like this might arise and he´d be perfect for cooperation with our Ministry of Defence. I was right.
From what I hear, Bravo to Mr. Pavel.
WOW !! BRAVO Jonathan !! What a Wonderful Speech !! Thank You !! You Said It All !! BRILLIANT !! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤ from 🇬🇧
. And Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1991 to hand over the former Soviet Union's nuclear weapons to Russia and in return gained a guarantee that the United States, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom would not threaten them with military force. or economic coercion.
. And now the Ukrainians are without the help promised by the 1991 agreement and many American politicians are also tearing up this Memorandum like the Russians and losing credibility in the world.
Never give up your weapon. Do not believe nobody.
Sad but true
Excellent reporting of the Truth and Facts. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 ❤🇮🇩🇬🇧
…Glory to All of the Heroes of Ukraine…Thanks for the Stream…💙💛💙
MORE silicon bites? Now that's a win! But you already work so hard Jon...look after your health, we need you! xxx
Slava Ukraine! 😀xxx
Well done Jonathan, I'm an ex soldier who would go to Ukraine in a heartbeat given half a chance but have a wife and child who rely on me to provide for them ,your providing excellent analysis and are doing a really important job.
Thank you for your service. I've often wondered why the USA and NATO doesn't enact the pre-WW2 concept of the Flying Tigers. Who were American volunteers, fighting imperial Japan with supplied American planes.
This would keep NATO out and the chance of escalation. It would solve the issue of pilot training as well as maintenance issues. I really don't think Washington wants Ukraine to win, rather they desire the status quo, where neither side can prevail.
@@kurtwinslow2670I think it is less intention than caution and a lack of strategic vision. A distinction without a difference in many cases, but in the long run a lack of leadership that stems from a lack of consensus.
@@pcopeland15 You could be correct, concerning strategic vision. I haven't heard the administration come out and clearly explain what their objective is in the war.
That said I think they fully know what they're doing. I'm of the opinion that they desire the status quo i.e. where neither side can prevail. Because they fear a collapse of the Putin regime similar to the 1991 Soviet Union collapse. If the Russian Federation were to collapse. Many new nations would form, and no one knows how they'll align themselves. Coupled with these states possessing nukes. Also, China would be emboldened and might try to expand, expand all the way into Siberia. Then the USA could be forced to either let it occur or confront China.
Now I think the USA should fully support Ukraine and let the chips fall where they fall concerning the Russian federation. But as with every decision, there's risk. And I'm not privy to the same info as our leaders are.
THANK YOU 4 YOUR SERVICE MATE, GOD BLESS,

LIKE IT BROTHER,, UK,, MUCH LOVE MANCHESTER UK,
America needs to come through with this aid to Ukraine unlike the failed promises given to the Afghanistan people & the horrors that followed.
Though I concur with your Ukranian analysis, I disagree with your Afghanistan analysis. Twenty years, with billions in treasure and American blood invested and they couldn't last one month on their own. It was doomed to failure and the USA was right to correct its losses. Now the evacuation could have been orchestrated much, much better.
@@kurtwinslow2670 I understand that even one human life is too many but around 2500 American forces died over a 20 year period.
The lives lost should have counted for something.
Many Afghan men & women for a time had a future.
The pullout of america & it's allies / contractors didn't help the viability of the Afghan goverment.
The cost... It allows dictators like Putin to think
America does not have the will or commitment to stand by it's friends.
@@luke8031No One Left Behind. A good non-profit. Run by vets of Afghanistan.
@@luke8031 I do understand your point. In someways I feel the same. But should we go another 20 years? Also, I think the USA is gearing up for what it perceives as a bigger threat, China. Now the USA seems to be focusing on containing China.
@@pcopeland15 Thanks Peter for the info, a worthwhile charity indeed & good work by all those involved.

Well said.
I worked for US International Companies and seen them telling the locally hired men that they have a long career in the Company but the American bosses (and me) knew that when the job was done, they were off the books.
White man speaks with forked tongue.
Ukraine is in a learning stage. But best to know ...Slava Ukraini
Ukraine's biggest mistake was trusting the USA and forfeiting its nukes back in 1991.
So rude and ignorant. If you hate whites so much then GTFO.
We in the West need to get serious about defeating russian fascism and devote the same level of resources that we spent to defeat fascism in WW2. In WW2 the US spent 40% of GDP to defeat fascism. Instead of $60B in support to Ukraine, we should collectively be sending $6T in support.
Yes the money the USA spent in the war in Iraq to destroy that country to get oil all built on lies is disgusting The amount of money your defence department can’t find where it was spent is staggering and criminal
Thanks for the update and views 🇺🇲🇺🇦
Oklahoma USA
Absolutely inspiring. Thank you.
Great commentary.
I heard it here as well, the narrative of an economic effect of the refinery attacks. It is much more than that : the refineries are there to supply local demands, not to export. If enough refineries were attacked, russia would simply not be able to sustain agriculture, civilian and military demand for diesel, gas and other products.
The export of refined products has been halted to most countries and this was due to complying with OPEC+ limits allegedly, but most analysts put it down to poor maintenance forcing a cutback, this was before the refinery attacks by Ukraine, so Russia is down by over 50% of refined products in total most probably by now!?!
Thank you for a very useful talk.
💛💙💜💙💛 all support for Ukraine is needed.thanks, Jonathan. 🇺🇦 🌏 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Bless you, Jonathan. Words at the close of this video were stiringly meaningful; must be broadcast widely as a matter of highest priority. Above all bless the Ukrainian people who so deserve better and closer support than they're receiving at this time 🇺🇦 💙 🌻
Thank you so much, Johnathan, for focusing on this.🙏 The US stand, as presented by Mr. Sullivan, was somewhat shocking to me as s US citizen, & is indeed morally repugnant. I also think you hit the nail on the head about the "imagined status quo"? I've felt for a long time that our country (& others) are not dealing with the reality of what Russia represents, as if they're engaged in political wishful thinking. I can't help but think some US reluctance to truly advance Ukraine's prospects for victory are because politicians & donor corporations have business/investment interests with Russia. My dad always said: When in doubt - "follow the money". I just can't understand the US failure otherwise.
Dear Johnathan! Thanks for these pearls of wisdom🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini!
The EU is double counting those 500,000 shells.
That refers to what was delivered last year, not a new supply. Ukraine needs the Czech shells and it needs them now.
The Czech shells are soviet (old and substandard)
@@perkunast9680 you cannot fight with an empty gun. Any shells are better than no shells.
@@ropeburnsrussellIt wont make much difference anyway. Trump will be in office soon and all funding will end. Not only that the equipment is US made. So Trump has the right to tell other countries if they can or cannot give them to Ukraine.
@@perkunast9680 make up your mind, is it old Soviet or US?
@@perkunast9680 The "Czech shells" are shells found in warehouses around the world and the names of the countries that will supply them were not disclosed. Might by anything from Japan to Angola. So we don´t know what their quality will be. It will probably vary a lot.
No. The Blue shirted men in the audience calming filming the killers are absolutely FSB.
You describe Russian military strategy so accurately and frighteningly.
So much awaited episode on Ukraine new strategy; imposing sanctions! 😁
Just a note on disparate numbers when it comes to refining. Many of the storage facilities contain feed stock for various types or grades of fuel/products to be upgraded or processed in plant areas that are unaffected.
While I, a kremiln weasel with numbers, maybe be able to say 5w30 motor oil is not affected today, I may find that next week's production is zero.
Storage matters.
Great work, keep it up! Proud supporter here 🇺🇦🇩🇰
I think us your followers and probably of other similar channels daily should together start sending the mainstream news channels in this country emails asking for more information daily about the situation for the Ukrainian people together they will take notice and do more to get the information out there 🤷♂️🇬🇧🇺🇦👍🏼
👍👍👍
I agree. The reporting of Ukraine is twisted now and needs to be clarified by this kind of truthful reporting.
Thanks
You are a tireless leader in journalism and bringing us information pertinent to the war in Ukraine . Thank you again you are the GOAT
Very insightful. I really like your videos. You have been an ardent supporter of Ukraine. I am embarrassed by America’s reluctance to provide Ukraine with emergency supplies. Trump must not be allowed to halt aid to Ukraine.
It has already happened. Citizen Trump, (he's no longer a politician, remember) has Maga Republican Speaker of The House Of Reps, Johnson, by the balls. Ukrainian aid stopped 6 MONTHS ago.
NAZI IN THE KREMLIN!
West - Please Wake Up !
🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Very clearly said and so true. Keep up the wonderful work you do. Ukraine must win!
The Czechs say they found 1.5 million shells. As for borrel, best to understand promise and over deliver. He did the opposite. Also, li believe it was macron who demanded the EU provide only shells made in Europe, that is france, rather than buying on the world market thus causing the shell hunger the Czechs are now about to relieve.
There’s some disturbingly questionable antics being played out from the Chezhs as the prime minister and president have been touting different numbers and costs. Originally it was said that they found 1 million shells and the cost would be 1.5 billion (and that they were ready to be shipped right away into Ukraine). Then once the funds were mostly allocated the story started changing. They first started by saying that not all shells would be NATO compliant and that the physical breakdown would be 300k of 122mm and 500k 155mm. Then not a week later they said that the payment of 1.5 billion (which was already more than 2.5 times the going rate for new production munitions) was only “enough” for the first batch or shipment of 300k shells (turning up the already significantly high price to 5 times more)! And now several weeks later again they’re saying that that the initial batch can’t be delivered until the end of June at the earliest while claiming they can get 500k more (at an even crazier price)! The whole thing stinks to be honest…
@@MikeOxlong- we shall see.
“The whole thing stinks”
lol. Funny you’re just now getting around to thinking that.
Delighted to hear you clearly call a spade a spade. Actually several spades. Keep up the good work Jon.
The message is spot on, sadly the audio is well below par.
Telling UKR how to fight and at the same time, not fully supporting them is ridiculous. They are fighting with one hand tied behind their backs and are doing better then most others would do, in similar situation.
If Reagan was in power, the Ukrainians would have been victorious by now.
No appeasement to the invaders / aggressors.
Pootin for the Hauge.
If Reagan was in Power, Ukraine would ve gotten all weapons and AMMO they asked for, within ONE freaking year...
Wise words as always Jonathan, keep up the good work!
Great speech! Very inspiring! Many thanks for this!
Make no mistake of those in the uk ,who are still supplying Russia through 3rd parties ! ref The Guardian
Great report. Thank you and I hope you feel better soon.
👍
This is a brilliant exposition of the current situation in Ukraine and the rest of the world. Whoever wrote your script (was it you) should be standing for the President and also prime ministers of all NATO countries. Very well done.
Exxon has a refinery going off line ffo 50 days .. massive turn around.. So they will loose something in the line of 900 million gallons of gasoline production daily. Figuring that Exxon has ordered the majority of the materials needed to do the repairs and it is being done by people who are skilled in this kind of repairs makes one wonder about all of the refinery capacity that has been taken off line in Russia. Considering that they as a country have no really skilled people doing the repairs They dont have the tools or the materials to rebuild what has been destroyed.. Who here really thinks Russia is going to be able to bring back these Fire and bombed out refineries EVER?
Russia will patch things up to their usual standard if the people doing it are "paid enough", that means more fireworks and less production, never underestimate Russian corruption!?!
@@TomTomicMic I dont think that russia has either the knowlege or the materials to build or perhaps rebuild their refining capacity.. It is my understanding that many of the refineries are old and almost obsolete I think the brain drain and the demographics of russia are working against them. Remebering that even in the US where we have none of these constraints it will still take a very long time to do maintenance much less rebuilding after massive fires and explosions
Thanks for the excellent update 💛💙💛💙
Hello there,really enjoy watching your channel plenty of insight ...I just wanted to add something Jake broke said about the shooting,as he pointed out there's many man dressed in blue with a black bracelet who doesn't seem too bothered about what's happening around...could you get deep in to that? Thanks for everything 👍
The farming seeason for sowing grains is approaching. I would be interested to hear if this war is having any affect on the farming community. It's quite a tough lifestyle sometimes and global warming is already presenting challenges.
Lukashenko has said the terrorists were heading towards Belarus not Ukraine. I wonder what Putin will do about this statement? Thank you for your information Jonathan.

The sound quality on this one was too difficult to listen to. Love your show though. You're in a "live" room when you record this. This means the walls floors and ceilings are parallel to each other other, and the surfaces are hard and reflective. The solution is to record in a closet surrounded by hanging clothing which will absorb the sound and you will be in your own natural sound booth.
Thanks for these updates and the insightful long-form interviews. Great interviewees and very professional interviewer, thank you.
Please keep reporting the truth!
Thank you once again for all tge work you put into this. You are making a difference!
Quick tip: Order a Boya M1 lavalier microphone. It has a built-in amplifier, and can be plugged directly into your laptop or phone, for great audio recordings on the fly, anywhere you travel. It will vastly improve audio quality. One step up from the M1 is the MM1, which is more directional, but requires you to either hold it, or mount it (purchase a cheap travel stand / tripod for tables). The MM1 is only slightly better than the M1 if you record in noisy environment.
The Boya M1 is about €20. The MM1 is about €30-40. Both are plug'n play.
There is also a Boya M1DM with 2 lavalier mics, if you interview someone in the same room. You will see the audio quality on these mics is not far off from mics that are 5 times as expensive, and requires a lot more stuff to carry with you.
Great video thanks. Greetings from Mexico and Slava Ukraine 💙💯👍🙏
