Ukraine: For The Archives -- September 13, 2022

From The [London] Independent:

• Russian commanders, with their families, are fleeing the Crimean peninsula
• Moscow had "annexed" the Crimean peninsula in 2014;
• Russian nationals secretly trying to sell their homes on the peninsula
• tactical nuclear weapons in play?
• Ukraine claims its troops are within 30 miles of Russian border

API: 

• a build of 6.035 million bbls; forecast -- a draw of 200,000 bbls.
• does one get the feeling the analysts have no idea what's going on?
• wasn't this similar to last week: a forecast of a small build/draw and yet API reported a huge build;
• the EIA data that is reported a day after the API data is more commonly followed by folks like me; 

From the linked article:

• "leaving the SPR with just 434.1 million barrels"
• "with just" as opposed to what?  At a million bopd that would last 434 days;
