Original: Ukraine claims its attacks have taken out more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity
Ukraine says its long-range drone and missile attacks have knocked out more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity. The claim, highlighted in coverage by outlets including Audacy, underscores Kyiv's strategy of targeting energy infrastructure to squeeze Russia's war financing and fuel supplies. Russia has not confirmed the extent of the damage, and independent verification remains difficult, but the strikes have reportedly caused refinery outages and fuel shortages across parts of the country.
