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.
